But if you move Lindholm or Backlund or Toffoli, you've thrown the towel in for next year. If you do that, then sell them all and burn it down.
But that isn't happening because they have a win-now roster that committed to this team. So give them one more chance

Waiting burns this team. Pick a direction and go. I'm not saying trade it all, go scorched earth, but if you wait maybe next years deadline is soft. Maybe they get cammalleri'd. Maybe they play just good enough to believe maybe they have a shot and try and keep everyone for a push. They've got 6 guys to make decisions on, moving 1 or 2 now doesn't "disarm" them.
They have to take advantage of the market. If there's a deal here that helps them mix it up and get a jump on next year then they have to take it. This is a good team and a good offseason can help solve a lot of things.
