Expand We couldn't have offered him that amount...but he's definitely contributed positively to their wild card chase when healthy. With Hahn/KW basically admitting they don't have enough money to keep all their guys internally (like Moncada or Giolito) and spend huge in FA, it would have been shocking had they shelled out $40-50 million for a 3-4 year extension...especially with 4.5 prospects (if you still include Basabe) stacked up at that position in Adolfo, Walker, Rutherford and Gonzalez.

We all knew how volatile the ceilings and floors were with Kopech.

Expand Gettint Moncada alone would be a good return, if Kopech can even be a reliable mid rotation starter the trade was a huge win for the Sox. Check the trades for Cliff Lee or Sabathia. they produced one player. Basabe was/is an intriguing prospect, you are not getting a 3rd elite prospect.
