Our best pitching prospects are a couple of years away or so. Which gives us time to give the youngsters a chance. If we can hit on any of the guys currently getting a look, they would be a much better trading stock than someone at the end of their career who might have something left in the tank. The new guys have years of control left and at cheap money. Starters with control bring a premium on the trade market.

Plenty of young arms to get a chance at the rotation or bullpen and the young position players need a chance to claim a career. Better might be to take that FA money and try for extensions, Mondesi and Keller two obvious ones. This year the team needs roster spots, not line up filler.
