And since they’re in a position to sell and in all likelihood not going to do the things necessary to compete, getting a deal done sooner comes with less risk.

If they deal Sale and replace him with Giolito in the rotation, they’ll have a good chunk of money to address needs if they do intend to try and compete. This is still a good, if not deep, rotation when headed by Quintana, Rodon, and Giolito.
