I really like it when Theo Epstein does this
I know the guy’s not perfect, and obviously the Red Sox do play in a market that’s different from the Mets’. But it’s cool when Theo Epstein explains things patiently and in clear terms like this instead of just being all, “calm down you idiots, we traded a guy who can’t get the ball over the plate for a prospect with obscene peripherals.” To me, this is a deal you make if you’re in first, a game out, seven games out, whatever.
