Trades do not always work out for all the teams involved. The goal of each trade is different. Some teams acquire players to help the postseason push. Some trade stars to acquire prospects who can be a part of the next good team. No matter the reason, there is always the chance that a trade will not work out for one or possibly both sides.
But there are those rare ones that work out for everyone. This is a story of such a trade.
As the Red Sox deal with the Marlins this week, it got me thinking about connections between the two franchises.
