I agree. It's too risky if they're in playoff contention and call me skeptical, but is this ownership likely to forego playoff revenue for futures? They're guilty of recency bias if things go well, but not when things are going poorly. I fear them being tempted to re-sign players if we're showing signs of playoff life and further muddy this whole mess.

You also risk injuries and all sorts of problems. You know Tanev will be battered and bruised by March next year, and healthy he plausibly gets you a first+.

Nope, put me in the camp of move these guys in the offseason to maximize your returns and reduce your risk.
