Trade Domingo for Mejia (Arby eligible, save some payroll) Sign Cobb and Arrieta (no more than 4 year deals) Trade Thames for prospect(s), start Braun at 1st Release Gallardo and go young at his spot in the pen (I'm a big T. Williams fan) Villar Yelich Braun Shaw Cain Pina/Vogt (Mejia later if he is ready and/or if either of these guys struggle) Phillips/Broxton Arcia Pitcher Arrieta Cobb Anderson Davies Chacin Payroll would likely be in the 125-130 million range and switching out Thames and Santana should save some money next year. This is a risky plan but that team very likely makes the playoffs for a while . It is almost always cheaper to pick up offense during the season versus pitching.
