4Noting, my old friend, many RS fans don't see a possible RS usage of this trade. A Matt Fisher prospect is somewhat more valuable than an injured Patrick Sandoval. Breslow needs to make Yoshida disappear like Jordan Hicks did. There are teams willing to pay for prospects. Anything to get a better Yoshida including Tristan Casa as a throw-in is worthwhile.
This traded puzzle just make no sense
💁🏼♀️ I currently can’t find any reason to trade away MLB Pitching depth for a 20yr SP prospect. The trade in itself isn’t a terrible deal for the Red Sox, it’s just that the timing to trade away SP depth for the Red Sox is more in a wait and see mode right now then a shopping mode. Easily a 👎 for the Red Sox.

Your are correct about the Phillies logic, but the RS need expendable prospects to dump Yoshida. Sandoval has become expendable for the RS given all their recent movies. Getting a more reasonable value trade chip is worth a try. Back door logic
