It would make sense to trade him for prospects, but think about it. When you go to the K, who gets the loudest cheer during the lineups? Who makes everyone pay attention when they get to the plate? Who's the one that all the little kids in the seats know and want to be like?
Maybe it's the right time to deal him. But he's about the only thing left out there tearing tickets. Take sweeney off the team, and it has NO identity if it even has one now with Pena gone. Talk about your faceless, unremarkable team with no one that endears themself to anyone.
