Upon trade value

The Florida Marlins are once again dumping players left and right. In 1997 the Marlins won the World Series, and the next year players like Kevin Brown, Al Leiter, Gary Sheffield...etc were gone in a large-scale dump. The team mired in mediocrity until 2003, when they stunned the Yankees to win another championship. Last year Carl Pavano came to the Bombers, and now an ESPN report suggests that Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett are now members of the Red Sox, in a trade for prospects. This trade, combined with the impending free agent move of AJ Burnett implies that the Fish are agian dumping payroll. The Sox are certainly well off if the trade finishes, as Beckett was a stud before blister problems this year, and Lowell is a Gold Glover who can have pop. However, I would have clicked the "protest this trade" button in my fantasy league. Seems like 10 cents on the dollar to me.
