You realize that Chapman and Miller are arguably better players than anyone we traded not named Kimbrel, right???
Better than Justin Upton and Simmons? I'll take those 2 over Miller and Chapman.

Exactly. I don't doubt his talent. I DO worry about him breaking down. Strike while the iron is hot because it will probably NEVER be near this hot again.
This team is not winning next year or the next with Or without Julio. Maximize his value in a thin SP market. We can no doubt get 4 or 5 long term pieces for him at this deadline. We have massive holes at C, 3B, OF long term and Julio is our only reliable rotation arm. Use Julio to fill some of those holes and add close to the bigs rotation pieces.

You dont think Coppy hasnt thought about that?
Hes not gonna trade Julio for a so so offer, if a team wants to gut their farm for Julio he'll be dealt. A decent offer isnt worth trading Julio.
I don't want him to take a so so offer; we've done that plenty in this rebuild. If miller gets you Frazier and Sheff, and Chap gets Gleyber and McKinney, then Julio will command a haul. I honestly think Coppy refuses to trade JT due to the current rotation and Suntrust opening. Given the amount of teams looking for SP, Julio should be moved. BOS, CHC, TEX, LAD all have top tier prospects that can move this franchise forward.
Whose to say any of them are offering that kinda haul?

No way to know if they are. Will have to wait and see if and when SP starts to move. But I hope they haven't made JT untouchable and are open to moving him.
In two days, the yankees have rebuilt with 2 RP's better then we have in two years.
This is in no way correct.

My personal preference is to trade JT+ to BOS for a package headlined by benintendi/devers. Obviously don't know if Boston would entertain, but would immediately fill 2 long term holes.
Hah, if that was on the table Julio would be a Red Sox right now. They wouldn't even offer Benintendi solo most likely. There is a reason they wound up with Pomeranz for Espinoza, and that's because they weren't willing to move Moncada or Benintendi for what was on the table at the time. One of those possibly get moved in a Sale deal, but we aren't getting them for Julio or it would have already happened I think.
Now maybe we could get something like Devers and Kopech for Julio, who knows.
With the market the way it is, I would think JT/Viz could net Benin/Devers/+. But I assume you are correct that BOS would hang tight or offer something like that for Sale. I would not move JT to Boston without benintendi coming back.
