FWIW, I largely agree with you from the standpoint of giving up prospects and money for a rental player, but that all depends on the cost. There are some advantages to making a trade, even if it's only a marginal upgrade. One is getting a player with some veteran experience on an already young team. Two is adding some insurance/depth.
Dombrowski is going to give due diligence to the trade market. Devers will be called up if the FO believes that he is our best option.
