Is it time for a "firesale"? Should we finally trade Murph , Niese/Gee and pitching prospects for bats? Furthermore we could have a top 3 pick next year and get some crazy talent.
Fire sale. Buy one, get one at half price. I personally would go for what you suggest, Michi. High draft picks are fine if a ready- or almost-ready-to-go real, young bat is not available in a reasonable trade now.
All options should be on the table. The playoffs with this team are an illusion.
