I'm also not sure why we'd trade Elliott.

We're certainly not getting anything close to what we gave up for him (2nd +), so the value in return isn't significant. And while he has still been inconsistent for us, I don't know if we can truly trust in Johnson without a capable 1B going forward.

If we're trying to at least compete for the playoffs, the return we'd get for Elliott wouldn't make it worth it.
