Maybe the definition of 'premium' as applied to prospects is limited in the M's system, I truly don't know.
I suspect I'd be content givng up any single prospect outside of Kyle Lewis (and the ineligible 2017 guys) for Verlander, assuming the FO was confident regarding the salary taken on.
We've got a window somehow open this year, who CARES if we 'deserve' it. Verlander would be around long enough to make the acquisition more than worthwhile, and once our injury truants return... That playoff rotation is looking fairly rock-solid. (Pax-Verlander-Felix-Kuma? can anyone else break in? Gonzales or Miranda, as a second lefty?)
