The problem is that What do they do with Pierce next year? Same question as they have with Allen. And they have 2 more years of KG who has slipped to the level of a player making 1/2 of what he makes. Wallace is another problem and he cant even be used as a contract dump in a trade because he has a player option next year which he surely will exercise and also has a 15% trade kicker that teams will be loathe to pay. They surely knew this when they made these deals but it is refreshing to see them knowingly paint themselves in a corner to try to win now unlike the Phillies who traded Cliff Lee for non prospects to save money instead of riding him and Halladay to the WS this year.
