Obviously in hindsight you move Fulmer for someone better, but at the time the Sox had nothing to give to acquire anyone worthwhile. They were sinking and trying to stop the bleeding. In reality, they couldn't have done any better than Shields for Erik Johnson and Tatis at that time, unless others in baseball knew what Tatis would become. In any event, they tried to make one last ditch effort to save that season, it didn't work and they blew it up. I really don't fault the Sox for being aggressive when they're trying to contend. Players come and go. Banners fly forever. 

Except it was pretty obvious that both the bullpen and Frazier’s hot streak couldn’t sustain that 23-10 start...see 2012 team coming down the stretch with additions from every corner of the baseball globe.

Please don’t be hurt Luery.  Can’t take more Engel.

Engel has infinity lives. That being said, Leury and Avi are like glass houses. Take the good with the bad with them I suppose.

It was pretty obvious it wouldn't last. I would have done nothing and started doing the leg work on the Eaton/Sale/Quintana deals. It would have been very nice to have Tatis along with this group of players. It didn't happen. We all need to move on. It isn't our money, The Sox have a bottom 5 payroll in baseball. It isn't like Shields' contract has prevented the Sox from doing what they want to do. All it is costing the Sox is JR's money and 1 roster spot.
