So this is how you show thanks to a loyal fan base that bumped up attendance by 35%?

Rather than parting with a cup riches from the well of prospects for a seat at the table of plenty, we go sorting through the garbage for scraps.

Skubal and Miller are without a doubt the difference between a deep run in the playoffs and hoping that the Capitals will be having a good season to follow.

Holliday is too small and unproven, let Detroit have him and throw in Baker so they have a pitcher.

Miller is needed beyond words. I'd give them Kremer, Irvin and Basillo or Mullins.

Mountcastle or Urias could be on the table as a sweetener for either deal. I'd DFA Kimbrel.

Those two pitchers would be the pieces that are the keys to a World Series.

Ask yourself, would Hollidays glove or bat on it's own be capable of delivering a playoff win?

... I didn't think so.
