I'm dead opposite. Our techy organization can really develop pitching but not so much hitting. We have impressive depth of arms right now when the season would be over already otherwise.

If we can trade some assets for affordable and controllable bats who are proven, do it. Sure, a late-inning bullpen stud would be nice but we need more offense now and the next couple of years.

Yeah there’s really no such thing as a sure thing bullpen arm. They can go to shite overnight. I’d much rather roll with what we have and maybe some very low cost vet signings this offseason and invest in the lineup and/or rotation.

Some of the guys we are starting could slot into the pen next year anyways with better health and an addition

Makes sense. I just don't like the idea of letting go of a guy as versatile as Yuli and having 2 guys as limited defensively as Bell and Yordan.

I also think 2 years of Bell is going to take a pretty big offer and we're not exactly stacked with prospect capital.
