Yeah it is going to be much harder to be "in it" at the deadline, not add, and miss the playoffs and explain that to your fanbase, versus adding and missing out. At least you tried kind of stuff goes further.
I know we are in the stage of the deadline where it is all about who teams WON'T deal, but eventually someone is going to look at the last half of the season, his current playoff chances, and blink.
Once you get past Fedde, it is pretty much taking the best offer out there. Maybe Kopech takes some thought, but that group of Brebbia, Wilson, Pham, DeJong, etc is literally whatever you get for them, move them.
It really all depends on what exactly his injury is. The fact he was put straight on to the 60 day DL scares me a lot, as does the lack of information surrounding his injury and status.
