Teams just don’t pay for rentals like they used to. Prospects are too valued now. Herrera should fetch a fringe 100 prospect type. That can boom into much more, quickly.
Seuly Matias is a great example of that type of guy. He made one top 100 coming into this year and is almost assuredly going to be on all of them next time around.

Even with the reduced returns, Moore has showed he's willing to take risks and still get a promising player in return. The Wade for Soler trade, while panned by many (including my dumbass) has the potential to end up being a major win for KC. One major lament was that had Wade not got hurt, the return would have been exponentially higher even if the deal was made 6 months earlier - but Soler just might prove to be good enough that even this analysis would be woefully incorrect.
