For whom?
It won't be somebody with higher salary unless the trade happens this June, because of the second apron.
I'm not thinking about a 1 for 1 swap, I'm talking about adding his 4m with another player(s) to make a bigger move ...if we extend Houser at 4/50, those 2 would get us to about 17, plus PP could get us to 25.
Develop cheap well-chosen talent, then extend and trade for better fitting pieces. I've sorta given up hope on JD and Queta helping us this way. There is still sOme hope for Queta, maybe 25%
Springer's 4m is not enough by itself, but it is the highest contract that we currently have after our core 8. Prior to acquiring Springer, PP was about the only contract that we had to move and it was obviously not enough on its own either to get anything done (via trade) to upgrade the roster.
