I get wanting to see a transaction that's a pure "add" but be realistic... Greinke and Price will cost a fortune and no team has an unlimited budget.

I don't consider Pillar/Bautista/Saunders/Pompey as a surplus of outfielders, especially considering Saunders is a yearly band aid and Bautista generally missed a couple of weeks each year and is only getting older. The Jays pull a deal like this and they are essentially one injury away from Colabello playing LF again, which was a nightmare.
I'm not saying it's Price/Greinke or bust, but there are multiple FA pitchers as good as better than Salazar and Corrasco which can be had without giving up anything. Makes no sense to trade two young players with large upsides when it's not necessary.
