If they do break things up at the deadline, Stroman, Sanchez and Biagini will all be untouchable. That makes Russell nearly untouchable as well, in order to maximize their development. (And possibly Pillar, as a stellar CF can do a lot for a pitchers confidence. But in that vein, it might be good that Tulo's contract is untradeable)
If I remember correctly, Montero is a pretty good game caller, so that might be insurance to protect those three young pitchers, should the team dismantle. In the meantime, his hitting doesn't hurt.
