Or if you prefer, look at it this way.  One of these career lines is Erasmo Ramirez, one is Mike Leake:

Player 1: 4.19 ERA, 4.39 FIP, 1.25 WHIP, 93 ERA +, 8.6 hits / 6.9 K / 2.6 BB per 9

Player 2: 4.02 ERA, 4.16 FIP, 1.28 WHIP, 99 ERA+, 9.4 hits / 6.1 K / 2.2 BB per 9

If you can't tell which one is Mike Leake, then you might have just paid Erasmo for that adjusted 3/36 contract. Dipoto's fetish with deck chairs will be a problem if the actual lineup fixtures start sinking.  If he can't get a #5 starter, what's he gonna do when he has to replace Cano's production?

Taijuan Walker is sporting a 132 OPS+, btw, Chris Taylor is OPSing over .900 still and Gohara is striking out 12 per in AAA at age 20. It's tough out there for a GM - especially if you trade away as much as you get back, or more.
