If they could get Herrera from KC for a reasonable price, they should look into it. You HAVE to make every effort possible to win at least a pennant if for no other reason than it might improve your ability to keep Harper in Washington.
I mean, it's not as unlikely as the National unloading Trout or the Indians trading Lindor, but it's not much more likely than that. Statistically I guess you'd call it a 'non-zero chance' which is a pretty diplomatic way of saying 'damn near 0% chance...'

About what I thought, but it's pretty much the same chance he signs back there next year, right?
And FWIW, Scherzer should be in STL right now. That was always a dumb miss if they were even seriously interested.
