I wouldn't call it near completion. Everything I've read talks about it primarily in theory.
That said, I'd HATE a 1 for 1 trade of sending Senzel and receiving Kluber (with San Diego involved in some way).
If we trade Senzel for Kluber, I'd expect something else in addition, possibly one of San Diego's top prospects.
The fact is we are not knocking on the door to the World Series. So there's no reason to give away 6 to 7 years of a potential future star for 3 years of a potentially fading Ace.
Even with Kluber, we are probably just a Wild Card team, so...if our goal is to reach the wild card or maybe the divisional round for a year or two then okay. But if you want to compete for a World Series in 2 or 3 years, you keep Senzel.
