I'd deal Pillar and sign Lorenzo Cain and Gordon. Profar obviously has an upside, but reminds me of Colby Rasmus in that they have the tools, but not quite that factor to make it work for them. Gordon is what he is at this point. As for Travis, I'd keep him for now. I find it hard to believe he'd get injured again. I personally feel these are one time injuries he's experienced and not something chronic like back problems, so I'd deal him when his value is peak. They definitely have to be a faster team though, and this seems like one of those rosters that isn't here or there, so I'm not sure how they go all-in for a rebuild. Tweaks aren't going to make this team a contender - they really have to deal for good value for 2 years from now. I don't see who they could target (or know enough about prospects to assess that), but I do think they should deal upper to middle age guys who are at their peak.
