From the episode

I wouldn't sell. Because because if he's going to sit around as a backup for two, three years, then then that's going to you know, you're going to probably get another chance to buy because he's going to be priced as a backup... I just don't think that he's a guy that I would sell right now. Personally, I can't I can't get behind that because you're not going. There's still going to be enough doubt surrounding J.J. McCarthy where you just don't like you're not going to get optimal value right now today.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Hold McCarthy; don't sell at backup prices; better value upside if he gets another starting shot.

The speaker recommends holding JJ McCarthy rather than selling at current backup prices; if he continues to play well and eventually gets a starting opportunity elsewhere, owners could sell for a first-round pick or more. The current market undervalues him because of lingering doubt, making it a poor time to sell. If he sits as a backup for 2-3 years, he'll remain priced as a backup, creating a better re-entry point later if he gets another starting chance.
