What if the outgoing was Maxi + Gafford? That's about $24.4M in salary. Does that open up any opportunities? Of course, it puts a BIG hole in the rotation and would move DP up to #2 center, unless another option was coming back. I have no concept of where to go with this, I was just trying to generate a bigger trade number for more flexibility in trades.
An example would be trading those two for Thybulle + Williams III from Portland. Sort of Bigs for Bigs and possibly move DP back to #3 center spot.
Hey, it's all spit ballin' right now anyway.
My guess is that the net of the offseason will be both of those guys gone with a 4/5 coming in who can backup both positions at roughly 10 mil in order to open up space for other things.
My issue with Thybulle is that when healthy we already have a minutes crunch at 1-3 and I don't see him has an upgrade over any of our rotation guys.
Its hard to see this team make any kind of move right now with all of the uncertainty due to injuries.
