I think both Glasnow and Bieber are a little on the fragile side. Glasnow because he's always been injury prone, and Beiber because he's had some elbow problems of late. He could have Tommy John in his future.
There's also the issue of limited control and money. Glasnow is a lot, and Beiber is about half as much, both for just a season.
If I'm giving up any decent prospects, I'm going after Cease. He has 2 years of control and I trust him quite a bit more. Frankly I like him better as a pitcher as well.
Also wouldn't mind the taking a crack at Rodriguez. The downside with that is that he's going to get a lot of money for a lot of years.
Side note: I think Stroman is basically perfect for our park. He'd be a less splashy potentially shrewd signing.
