Lugo is a decent player but, given that the D-Rays were apparently unwilling to flip him straight up for Marte, the rumored packages for Lugo and others would have been ugly. Lugo is also entering his free agent year and, given current market trends, the Sox would likely be in a position of either overpaying him to stay or just getting a one year rental. Marte is a risk, obviously, but the value of getting a low cost impact player for six years is really considerable.
