Jack Wilson and Ian Snell are going to be around for more than this year. Just because they were buying for next year doesn't mean they won't be selling this year. Not saying they'll do one or the other, but just saying.
And clement is rather overrated. He's good but not great and he loses a lot of value if he can't stay behind the plate. I don't really know about the pitchers who got sent over but cendeno is nothing special either. Couple babip inflated AAA stints and guy got overrated big.

Then they still got Freddy Sanchez to deal.

They will let him play there this year and Argenis Diaz will be ready next year

and clement playing 1b really drops his value
I don't know anything about the 3 pitchers sent but
Jack Wilson is a good SS because he's one of the best defensive SS's and it's easily been shown that Z is building a defensive first team (and doing it right, unlike Beinfest)
and Snell might fall on his face again but guy has a lot of talent
