I don't get the calls for trading EE or Jose for pitching.
For one thing, making us weaker in one area to make us stronger in another isn't going to make us a better team, unless we have a player waiting to replace their production, which we don't.
Secondly, the return for EE would be very minimal, at least in terms of current MLB level talent. An expiring EE does not get you an ace, and certainly does not get you an ace with any amount of team control. Trading EE would only make sense if we are blowing the whole thing up and getting prospects in return for all of our expiring contracts, or if a team lost their mind and we're making a dumb move like in the JD trade.
