Going out on a limb here... but I'm guessing you're going to like whoever we get.
That doesn't take much brain power
I've listed many times the trades I liked... the trades I didn't. I didn't like the decision to burn to the ground. But now that we have, there's been some good and bad
Good/Great:
Swanson/Blair/Ender
Wisler/$
Touki
Folty/Ruiz
Gant/Whalen
Not good/Meh:
Shelby Miller
Newcomb/Aybar
Fried/Mallex/Jace
Terrible:
Markakis
Olivera
It depends a lot on what the Yankees do and if they stay in the race or not.
If it were me I'd approach Boston and Texas and tell them that we have the ability to change the landscape of the AL championship race, and we're going to package Julio and Viz up to thew team with the best offer.
I'm not disputing that we got higher upside in that deal. But, come on. Sanchez is a teenager it was obviously still learning to pitch. Can we stop treating these guys like they're already major leaguers?

Point of interest- Red Sox 4th and 5th starters have been an absolute dumpster fire recently. Elias, Rodriguez, and Buchholtz(recently put in bullpen) haven't even given there tremendous offense a chance to win in the past week. They might be getting antsy.
I'd settle for Benintendi, Kopech, and Swihart.
