So......Folty is off the table in prospective deals right? He has to be as untouchable as any starter we have right?

No. His value is not as high as you are implying. If we could get a stud position prospect for him I would be all over him considering his injury risks and command issues. Does not mean I don't like him.

No pitcher should be untouchable. Remember when people said the same thing about Beachy? Beachy was sign him for 6 years, never trade him, etc. and then he was hurt. I'm not saying sell Folty for nickels on the dollar. But if someone were to come to us now and offer us a top prosect for him, we'd be dumb to say no. If the Rangers came in an offered us Joey Gallo for Folty would you say no? Of course that's an extreme example. Could go safer.

After watching what Bum garner do what he did last year I want to hang on to someone who has this type of pitential. Folty numbers get better as the game progresses. That's very impressive.
 
I see Folty being the kind that gets better and better each time out. If he can harness his command then the skies the limit.
 
I wouldn't trade any pitching right now because of how weak the farm system is pitching wise. There are a few prospects in the farm system, but nothing like what this organization used to have. When you have a guy who has been as dominant as Foltynewicz, you don't trade him for a position prospect. Rather, you build up a guy like Tyrell Jenkins and trade him for a position prospect. I'm not willing to trade pitching until this team has a surplus of pitchers though, and I just do not see that yet. I also do not trade Foltynewicz with Teheran struggling right now.
