That alone won't get you Quintana -- my post wasn't very clear. Either McHugh or Fiers will go to Chicago with the list above. Quintana won't be a "we want bregman" deal... but it won't be cheap.

Also, the second scenario, I left off the mandatory young stud (young tucker or Daz, etc).

And I disagree on not needing bullpen help. The last two seasons, Harris and Gregerson have been shaky as hell towards the end of the season. Throw Robertson into the mix -- it gives you a KCRoyals type bullpen to make a run through the playoffs.

Or, we could just count on Tony Sipp and Chapman. That might work.

You are probably going to have to add one of them to get Quintana by himself. Preston Tucker has very little value at this point. I still don't see how adding in Springer to get Robertson seems like a good deal

I really don't think so. Robertson is good but is not a dominant guy like the Royals had in Davis or the Indians had in Miller or Cubs with Chapman. You have to consider the downgrade you are giving your lineup when you consider the upgrade in the bullpen too.
