We need to trade Harrison or Birdsong for a legit bat: change my mind?

Ray is a legit ace when healthy. JV is a solid #3.

Agree on Hicks. Roupp TBD

Ray is doing better than I thought for 2025 so I agree. On a good team, Verlander should be the 4th starter.

Roupp seems to be improving a bit but, I agree, he is TBD.

The hitting is not great. I'm not arguing there. But I do think pitching is more important and the rotation is shaky. Don't really agree that we'd be dealing from a strength right now. My thought is if we deal one of these guys, we'll be trading for a starting pitcher in July.

Why not both?

I wonder if Belt is in shape to help us out?

I wouldn't count on Belt at this point in his life. He's been out of the game for a year and a half. I doubt he is in baseball shape.

Why not Bonds or Brett or McGriff?
