If THJ and JRich are here past the TDL, I'm fine moving on from them as they are both the epitome of inconsistent. If they are determined to keep one, I'd go with THJ and try to do a shorter term contract even if you have to overpay in that scenario. That assumes they run out every other ground ball.
Not sure why we would move on from either of them? I seriously doubt we will get anything in free agency that would be better than THJ + JRich + MLE. I feel like we would be better off staying over the cap and re-sign both as well as sign someone to MLE. Some of this may depend on what we do at the deadline, but it's hard to see a situation where we would want to operate under the cap (and even less likely if we trade JJ for a longer term contract).
