The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer! Options for discussion:
1) Starlin Castro to the Mets for P Zack Wheeler and P Jacob deGroom (other pieces will be added from both sides)
No more base-running lapses and other mental mistakes. These two pitchers are getting valuable major league experience and are holding their own. They will continue to get better.
2) To beat out the Red Sox for Cole Hamels we will need to take on the salaries of Ryan Howard and John Papelbon. I say no problem. Howard can serve as our DH for the interleague games and back up Rizzo and give him a breather when his back acts up next year. Phillies receive Travis Wood, Arodys Vizcaino, Pedro Strop, Dan Volgebach, and Pierce Johnson.
3) Sign FA P John Lester or P Max Scherzer
