Who is to say it has to be for a rental? There could be some pitchers available with years left on their contract that he might be worth the ask for. Even some of the top rentals may fetch a better prospect than some think they might. With the expanded wild card more teams have been buyers than in the past so the trade deadline isnt what it used to be.
I don’t want to see more money tied up so we can make a serious run at Tucker but if we can get Keller then deal Taillon in the off season I’d be ecstatic. Shota, Boyd, Keller, Steele, Rea, Horton, Brown and Assad? Sign me up for that in 26. Rea has to be resigned but I’m pretty sure he’d be all about returning.

Rea has a $6M club option for next year. That's a no brainer assuming his arm doesn't have to be amputated between now and the first week of November.

Brown needs to be cut. He sucks so bad.
