That last sentence is it. It all depends on the return.
I’m not saying they should move on from Greene. But I wouldn’t offer an extension, nor would I consider him untouchable.
Same thing with Carpenter. I’d think he’d have less trade value than Greene, which is fine. He could still be used to acquire some pitching depth. I think going into next season, an OF of Greene, Meadows, Vierling, and Perez ain’t bad all around.
