Just realized something with all his Hosmer free agency in 4 years talk. The new rules with QO's are going to make those situations where a team trades off a player they think they will lose in the last year of arbitration much less common.

That first round draft pick is going to be worth something, teams are probably going to just let their players play it out, extend the QO, and let them walk. If we were contemplating a Greinke type of deal today, you can't just look at the players you are trading for, now you mentally have to factor in that by making the trade you will not be getting that sandwich pick, and the other side probably won't be willing to boost their offer to make up for it.
