Comparing the Shortstops after the trade...
AGonz with MTL: 21games/85 AB, .282 BA, .315 OBP and 12 RBI's
OCabrera with BOS: 23games/96AB, .281 BA, .304 OBP and 14 RBI's
Nomar with Cubs: 20games/82AB, .317BA, .352 OBP and 12 RBI's

So the Cubs got a much better hitter in this trade, but for some reason or another, both Gonzalez and Cabrera are batting much better on their new teams despite being known for their defense...I would expect Cabrera to have more motivation to play better since Boston has playoff hopes, but I cannot explain why Gonzalez is playing any better. So you are right, win-win for all teams involved!
