Spend years losing baseball games on purpose, draft someone to be your 2nd basemen of the future, and then trade him away with the plan being to replace him with utility infielders

brilliant strategy all around

Madrigal has been terrible and injured this year.

He will never play a full season. Once they realized he wasn't going to be the future dumping him wasn't a bad move.

In the end the Sox got Pollock for Madrigal and Heuer. I draw a blank when I try to evaluate that.

Said it early in the season, Kimbrel will still end up being the best piece of what turned out to be a 3 way trade.

That's fine, but their plan A at 2nd base has been to go with utility infielders since the trade deadline of last year. First it was Cesar and now it's Josh Harrison. It was immediately evident neither guy is good enough to start on what's supposed to be a WS contender.

I mean we don't have a starting caliber 2B on the roster.

I’d far rather see Leury play 2B. 40% of Harrison’s appearances have also been at 3B. But yeah. At this point you kinda have to try Yolbert, even with his slight cool off lately.
