Don't know if I'd let go of Matt but I wouldn't rule it out. TB thinks they have the best farm system, I'm not familiar with their prospects but I'm sure they have someone they could call up. A Price, Moore, Hellickson, Niemann + one of their guys or one of our guys is a pretty solid rotation. Thing is they need run support for any of those guys to be good. Yorvit would be a pretty big upgrade over Shoppach offensively. They also have a need at SS but Profar still has a long way to go before filling Elvis's spot.
If TEX is able to package Torrealba into that deal in some way shape of form with TB for Shields ... I'd do it in a heart beat just to be rid of that guy. He as zero agility behind the plate and what's worse isn't very good calling a game or managing pitchers. Torrealba would be death to all those young TB pitchers too.
If TEX can move Torrealba ... I'd bring Treanor back to backup Napoli with no qualms at all. I might even release Torrealba and make that happen anyway.
