Yeah, the return on Davis might not be that overwhelming, either.
The Giles return is pretty tremendous for the Phillies because the Astros get Giles for 5 years. Same type of thing comes into play with Herrera (who has three years of service time remaining - edit: was reading his clock time wrong).
It would be tough to lose Herrera, but the prospect of adding two Yordano Ventura-level players (What the Astros got in Velasquez and Appel, plus a few more pieces) is tougher to pass up, IMO.
Maybe you COULD get a Joc Pederson and Jose De Leon-type return from the Dodgers for Herrera. That would be fairly similar, if slightly lesser, than what the Phillies got for Giles.
