What if the Carl Everett trade never happened? What if the Sox had held onto Adam Everett and Greg Miller? Would things have been different?
Everyone remembers the saga surrounding Carl Everett. Houston was trying to shed his contract and couldn’t wait to get rid of their internal headache. The Boston Red Sox figured a change of scenery would ease the stress of dealing with a team that was no longer interested in dealing with his antics.
Everett was everything the Sox needed in 2000. General Manager at the time, Dan Duquette, figured a deal was worth it.
The Red Sox shipped rookie shortstop prospect Adam Everett and minor league left-handed pitcher Greg Miller to complete the deal. We’ll explore all three careers to see if the Sox gave too much, too little, or just enough for what they got in return.
