the loss of those prospects having a genuine ace in his prime would be really exciting.
It would almost be like having Pedro in his prime. Imagine having a top four of Santana, Pedro, Maine, and Perez (in whatever order for the last three). Even if Maine and Perez fall back a bit, and no matter who is the fifth man, that's quite good.
