I think they have to go for it. Lester makes them stronger. If the goal is to win the World Series then you should swing for the fence when it makes sense to do so. I think this is the year to take that swing. I don't want to lose Sanchez or Stroman but isn't it worth it for a deep playoff run or even a World Series trophy? Perhaps they can acquire a strong veteran pitcher without including one of the two kids.
