If Flexen is the reason we give up Kepler, I'll hate the deal. I'm all for moving Kepler, but Flexen does nothing for us. I'd rather trade him for whatever type of prospect we could get. Yes Flexen had a 3.73 era last year, but the 4.62 xERA and 4.49 FIP paint a much different picture. I want nothing do with a guy that struck out 6.21 per 9 last year. Feels like a really low ceiling, back-end starter. If this was last year, I might be more for it but we've got plenty of mid-to-back end of the rotation arms that I don't really see the need to actively acquire more. Not to mention he's making $8 million this year so it's not even a salary dump (which would be my goal with moving Kepler, salary dump him and chase a Correa/Bassitt package or something like that).
