MUpton + some cash (if needed) and
Gattis
For
Paxton/Walker
Miller/Taylor
Saunders
And sign Tomas. That would leave us with one 30 HR stiff, a solid CF, a young LH power bat who could play 2B or 3B with 3 yrs control left, 5-6 yrs worth of a pitching stud for one year of Fat Upton - and Melvin off the books.
Do it, John.
