Never forget. Shitty teams don't need great closers. Trade Holland, especially since we have a great insurance policy.
Only way we win "The Trade" is to maximize the return on Holland right now, with Shields packaged as the kicker.

I'd have no problem with packaging either one of the great bullpen pieces for the right return. Key is getting back a piece that is more valuable to even a bad team than what you surrender.
It's also much easier to do when those two great bullpen pieces are both about to be so expensive, you can't really justify keeping both of them (especially if you're only going to use your primary setup man in the 8th inning of games that you lead, which is an incredibly stupid and short-sighted way to use a great floating bullpen piece, but short-sighted and stupid are great ways to describe Ned's managerial style).
