I think we need to do what ever we can to increase his trade value. Teams like the Mets and Nats are craving starting pitching and may be in a position to add money at the deadline. The Nats are already rumored for Oswalt. I don't see Z pitching to his contract the next few years and I think we'll be sellers at the deadline. We may as well unload the salary to provide better flexibility going forward. Maybe something like that would allow a trade or signing of someone who can truly help us... like Adrian Gonzalez.
