They should try and get something for him. That was the entire point of getting him for so cheap. Otherwise, you just lose him and get nothing in return.
I mean, you get a year of a good player who helps you win games right now. That's not nothing.
Define “wins you games”. This year is a transition/throwaway year. They basically said as much during the summer. There is no point in keeping Schroeder for the entire season just to lose him for nothing. They can get something like a late first etc for him. He’s not a long term piece so I don’t see what value keeping him for the entire season brings you.
If I'm to define "win you games" I'd define it as winning more games with him than without him.
I guess I just don't like this zero sum thinking. Anything less than a championship is meaningless. If Schroder only spends a year here and then walks, but during that year he plays hard and elevates the team then it was good to have him around and thus, worth the money.
