Great trade target, and, I think, gettable with our underwhelming minors talent.
Imagine filling our holes with:
LF- Mike Stanton
1B- Jose Abreu
SP- Shohei Ohtani
SP- add Iwakuma plus another guy like Tyson Ross who needs a shot at 4-5 innings every 5 days- per Dipoto...
SP- Wanna go nuts with payroll, sign Darvish too
Trading away:
James Paxton (Boras, whattayado?)
Edwin Diaz
Thyago Vieria, Vogelbach, Heredia, filler, etc.
Payroll dollars (not muh wallet anyways, am i right)
1 trade from the MLB roster, 1 trade from minor league depth, and streeeeetch the owners wallets until they too demand wins.
I don' love the idea of hanging onto Paxton in a year they'e going to ask 5 innings from their starter. That wastes his talent, he seemed to get better the later he could make it into a game.
