Zack Wheeler is still a front-line starter in his mid-30s, bringing power stuff, command, and proven playoff experience. He can anchor a postseason rotation and give a contender a true Game 1 ace who shortens series and stabilizes a staff.

In a mock trade scenario, acquiring Wheeler would require a significant package of top-tier young talent and controllable assets from a contending team.
