[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1463813, member: 29101"] And I'm just pointing out like others that there are two sides to looking at trades like these. There are two different questions in play: Could they have made a better trade at that time? Probably not. But inherent in trades like this, you have to look at the production of the veteran player you receive and what he contributes towards winning championships, and the production of the younger players for the rest of their careers. Jimenez and Cease may not pan out. However, if they go on to have great careers with the Sox and help them win a World Series, and Quintana does not do the same for the Cubs, will you still call it a good trade? And believe me, I'm not implying that any of this is easy for a GM to decide. [/QUOTE]
