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.
That's not a surplus, but you must have forgot about Revere. 5 arguable major league OF is definitely a surplus of at least 1.
