For a top closer and an effective LHP who could even start in a pinch, all it takes is a questionable 50 grade prospect who may never start at the big league level. Our minors should be stacked with these types next trade deadline, especially after all the trades we've made.
We clearly can't use them all in the same lineup, so we should use them as trade bait to improve the big league roster and start competing, sooner rather than later. Rental isn't a bad word when it doesn't cost a JJ or a Doyle or even a Crooks or a Hence.
Next year remember that rentals don't really cost that much
