If they could get a rental like Giolito for a relatively minor cost, say like...Lyon Richardson or Levi Stoudt and Ricardo Cabrera, I would be able to stomach that.
But CES, Marte, Arroyo, Collier, Petty, Phillips, Duno and Lowder should all be off the table.
It's hard to make deadline deals when your top 10 prospects (which, at the moment, still include EDLC and Abbott) are all unavailable, but that's the position I see us in right now.
They need to pick it up quite a bit if I'm giving up prospects for a rental. You could sign Giolito and give up zero prospects in about 4 months.
Wouldn't mind bolstering the pen to shorten games, but that might be about it.
