Why do they have to decide now if they're World Series contenders. Wait mid season and if the Brewers stink, flip him for prospects. Lackey had a 3.6 ERA before he was traded, and Yo finished with a 3.5 ERA - I'm sure someone would want him. You get much less if you wait. Off season and the team trading for him can get a draft pick. Not the case once the season starts.
