From a partisan Red Sox perspective, I'd love Dealer Dave to consider overpaying for a two-year contract for Robertson (if the whole staying near home spin is true). First, because I think he's a very good pitcher, who shows all the signs of adapting as his arm ages; second, because it deprives our main division rivals of that pitcher, hence weakening them in one of the few areas where they have a legitimate claim to being stronger than Boston; & third, because it could push Cashman into panic buying, either overpaying for Britton (who I think is a significantly lesser pitcher than Robertson) or someone like Miller (with whom injuries are catching up).
