I think someone like a Kris Bubic (KC) or Joe Ryan (MIN) is likely to be available at the deadline. Get a year or two of arb control for someone whose stats are getting better, is in their 20s, and makes $3MM this year. More like the Berrios trade in terms of making the team better in the future as well. Aren't quite as dominant as DeGrom this year, but Bubic's 2.38 ERA is only slightly above deGrom's 2.32 (and with Bubic's +1 inning pitched the workload is similar). If you're paying big prospect capital I'd like to get better the next few years as well, which is a big question mark for deGrom given his age/price tag.
