Can you really justify paying a closer 15-20 million potentially?
Because if he keeps pitching this well, it will likely cost that to keep him. I have no idea who would replace him but we could use that money in other areas and be a better overall team.
Ideally he would take a team-friendly deal, say 5 years, 50 million with team options but assuming he would turn that down, you gotta trade him while his value is sky high.
