Im not the Gm and i know is a very hard job. But if we trade Allard and Soroka for Archer that should be enough? If we do that trade we still have Wright, Anderson, Gohara, Wentz, Muller, Sims, Fried, Toussaints and a set rotation for the next 5 years basically.
Allard and Soroka isn't getting Archer. It would be enough value for Q, but no way would the Sox trade him for only pitching.
I have a hard time seeing a way the Braves get Q while keeping Albies, Acuna and Maitan. The Sox have to get a top position guy for him.
If they don't I think they failed.
If Coppy gets Q without giving up one of those 3 position prospects he should be commended.
If Coppy gives up position players for pitching, after bitching about how hard it is to acquire position players, the Braves screwed up.
Simple as that really
