Mock ownership, then if someone asks for specifics, complain that the response's tone is mocking.
So who do you have in mind? You could probably pry 39-year old Kirby Yates from the Angels for cash considerations. His ERA is decent but his game log suggests they use him only in blowouts if they can help it, and he gets tagged with a blown save or a loss when they have to use him meaningfully. Is that what you had in mind when you specified "reliable"?
I don't look to the Tigers or Royals for help as divisional rivals. I'm not confident big-market teams like the Red Sox and Mets are ready to throw in the towel at 5.5 games out. That leaves SF and Colorado.
I'm not going to do your homework for you. Who do you have in mind? I'll suggest in advance that in return for cash you will get Justin Lawrence clones, Anyone markedly better will be traded to the highest bidder, not the first bidder, and not for the cash you specified.
