I’m not sure if Noot or Gorman would qualify as solid hitters. Streaky maybe.
I wasn’t really talking about Noot or Gorman. More like Burly, Donovan, Contreras, Herrera. Sure you can deal one of them but you won’t get a mid tier cost controlled starter for just that. Maybe you package Gorman or Noot with one of them and get a 3-4….maybe. Contreras would be the most likely but again he’s expressed his desire to not be dealt.
I agree we’ll end up needing a starter next year. Just not sure we will trade for one. Might be a stop gap #5 we could deal later on.
