$7 mill

hope he does really well, the rest of the pitching staff also does well, and we trade him.

Trade him while he still has a pulse. Yankees love old pitching, but they don't have to offer but old hitting. Cubs?

Im on board with trading him if he does well, especially if the rest of the staff does well. Thing is I have a bad feeling that our starting pitching is going to struggle in 2015.

That is my only reservation as a fan about dealing him, if they don't have at least a decent starting staff that can eat innings it won't matter how much they upgrade on offense. I'd still be for it but it would seem unlikely that they would deal Elias or Walker then.
