Objectively, the Boston Red Sox have gotten the better of the New York Yankees in the Carlos Narvaez trade, to this point. Rodriguez-Cruz? He just keeps getting more impressive, and will likely open the 2026 season at Triple-A after cracking the latest edition of Baseball America's Top 100 prospects. He's posted six scoreless starts since the start of July, five of them coming in the second half. There's a far better chance these days that it eventually breeds mutual disgust instead, and the tide is starting to turn.
