- Porcello is a quick three-win upgrade for the Red Sox based just on his WARs from the past few years, but I believe there's still some upside left if he changes his pitching plan based on his new defense and park.
- Made sense to use Porcello to get Cespedes, a plus-power/low-OBP outfielder with average defense and a plus arm. The trade itself doesn't directly make the club better, because Cespedes and Porcello are roughly equal in production value, but it's easier to replace Porcello in free agency right now than it is to find a Cespedes.
- Took a flier on Speier who had Tommy John in 2013
