I mentioned earlier that a package including Shaw for Duran + Bello would help fill two spots for the Cubs.
-
So, you're saying Shaw for Duran is okay?
-
Duran might be a decent buy-low candidate. Expand the deal on both sides and try to get Bello.
-
Neither Shaw nor Ramirez should be considered as a regular OF option. If we expect the Cubs to be a legitimate playoff team, then they shouldn't be experimenting with reserve IFs in the OF. They are probably two of our biggest trade chips, so one of them ought should be part of a package to get a SP.

For Bibee, but Cantillo or Hancock would cost you Shaw, Alcantara, and a pitching prospect.
-
All of those starting pitchers are young and have years of control, which means high cost. Shaw and Ramirez are utility IFs who might be starters on a team in need of an IF.
-
Shaw plus Alcantara plus a pitching prospect might get one of those pitchers you named.
-
A call to Moises Alou might solve the blister problem.

The big problem with Dansby is that Hoyer massively overpaid him. That is on Hoyer, not Swanson.
