    Sox get Kimbrel

    And, as was mentioned further up in the thread, adding Kimbrel pushes everyone else in the bullpen down a level, which improves the quality of those innings as well. You could argue that it shouldn't be factored into the deal, since Kimbrel himself isn't pitching those innings, but I think...
