It could be an opportunity to replace James Shields for next year and get better this year. Maybe a package that includes Zimmer as the "close to ready" pitcher and another top prospect or two.
I would hate to get rid of Mondesi and Zimmer for Samardzija but that could get it done without moving Duff or Ventura.
