Well I guess we'll find out what Crochet does for the Sox over the next 6 years.

What happened?  It was reported as Crochet, but now it's Heuer and Madrigal?  I like it a lot better now.

Funny that the Chapman trade is often looked at as the beginning of the end of the Cubs ability to dominate - as overpaying for 2 months of a closer was looked upon poorly - and here the Sox are a few years later paying a ton for 2 months (+1 year) of a set up guy.

It's a shame that none of the reliever prospects panned out because this sucks to pay that much in assets to acquire a bullpen guy.

This thing is none of those guys have superstar potential, which is the difference.  Madrigal is a guy who will be good to very good for the next decade, assuming his body holds up.  Heuer is a closer top.  In exchange you got one of the best closer in the game for the next two years.
