Message: [QUOTE="dasher, post: 2357220, member: 6061"] How do you know the Red Sox wouldn't have won the division if there was no wild card to fall back on. The wild card changes the way teams go about their business at the trade deadline. The finished first in '07 and '13 and migth not if there was no wild card. Teams behind the Sox might have traded great prospects to get over the top. The Sox might have done that in '04. It might have cost them Papelbon or Lester. [/QUOTE]
