Thanks OP. I enjoy reading stuff like this. For me it highlights how poorly things are currently being run and how badly there needs to be a change in front office philosophy to at least consider these types of angles to fixing the team. Not saying everyone is going to agree with everything you put down, but to take that kind of approach at all would be encouraging given the state of things.
For guys like AJ and maybe Geno I'm torn. I'd say we should have a serious conversation with them about their plans. Tell them where we are spend wise and that no disrespect to them, given our circumstances, this is our max. If you want to work with us on that or close to that it would be ideal, however if you are looking for more we are looking to trade as free agency doesn't bring anything in compensation. Work with them somewhat on where they want to go. If you have to take a little less than what you first expected, it's better than nothing and likely better than any comp. Running out of time though... 0-3 might have been a better time to get on this wagon. Definitely 0-4. Now 0-5 close to the deadline likely not happening.
