... although the list of available players, Byrd-Quentin-Smith etc., dunno how many surprises we could run into, if we had more info. That's the only ask-er-isk from my standpoint.
The overall concept here is my own POV too. Either buy something you are going to be REALLY happy with, or else cobble together a deal in which you're not giving up anything painful. Would think that is obvious, though it isn't.

"Wasting another year" - a term that resonates with the shot-callers.
Supposing that the M's did trade for a Samardzija, and said "We'll work on getting Hart back, and mixing/matching Gillespie & co." Would that work for you?
Fangraphs author would say, "a WAR is a WAR." Samardzija adds 5 WAR to the #5 starter slot. Or no?

My own perspective is "critical mass" in the lineup, bringing it to a point to where TOUGH pitching doesn't like to face it. But :: shrug ::
