If we're looking at relievers, I'd deal Wong for a wipeout RHRP with 3+ years of remaining service time that we could use as a closer while waiting to see which of the young arms can't transition to the starting rotation and/or waiting for Swagerty to make it back. The Royals likely wouldn't give up Kelvin Herrera for him (and probably wouldn't give up Holland either), but for 6 years of a guy that's a likely 2-3 WAR player, that's the kind of return I'm going to want.

6 years of Wong is worth quite a bit.
In a vacuum I agree, but almost anyone that we deal with is going to be doing so from a position of strength, which devalues Wong's absolute worth.

I'd like to be able to get a lights out reliever for him, but I don't think that's a reasonable expectation, even if it should be in a rational market.
