This is why I have hated the trade from the start. Given the volatility of relievers and Kimbrel's recent history, it was possible that Heuer could be better than Kimbrel the remainder of the year (after the trade). We ALSO gave up Madrigal, who could very well be an all-star for years. The Sox will owe an aging reliever 18m next year if they want to keep him. That money would be better spent on somebody like Semien. They would also still have Heuer, who has the stuff to bounce back and be great like he was last season. That trade just sucked. Plain and simple.
