I gotcha and makes sense.  Just feels like now would have been a good time to splurge on a starter since Keuchel will come off the books next year and we really have nobody waiting in the wings.  Bassitt would be a fine addition, but a little nervous to speculate on what he might cost even as a one year rental.

I hear ya, and I don't disagree.  Two questions regarding a potential Bassitt trade:

1. A Bassitt trade would be similar to the Lynn trade last year in terms of cost, right?  

2. If we make a trade like that, who are the best free agent starting pitchers next offseason (assuming we don't extend Bassitt like we did Lynn)? I suppose Google can quickly tell me the answer to that, so I'll get on that as soon as I hit "Reply".

Probably should cost similar.  Unfortunately, we don’t have any top 100 prospects, but maybe they would take Burger as a centerpiece.  We’ll have to wait and find out I guess.

They would probably want Sheets and Burger…as they’re still likely to trade Olson.  

Chapman needs to build his value back first half.
