There is a non zero chance the Rays trade JC, but there is zero chance it’s for a return like this. A quarter of the trade value is in a pitcher coming back from TJS and who only has 2 years of control. Rays will have no interest in Steele. The headliner is a defense first, below average bat. Rays love those types and they have a bunch in-house already. They aren’t going to pay $35 MM in trade value to add Shaw and his 1-2 fWAR. Caissie has a K problem that gives him a low ceiling and Rojas is fine I guess but I think he’s overrated offensively. JC might put up 6+ fWAR next year. Is there any chance the 4 Cubs players do that in the aggregate (in any year)? I’d bet on JC every year. Rays say no to this trade and it’s not particularly close.
