The problem with all these scenarios is... if you trade Hosmer and Moose away, I don't think it's very likely they come back. So then you have to sign them now. And I just don't see that happening. Boras would throw himself in front of a moving train before he let that happen. He was just going on the other day about how Arrieta is still an elite pitcher and will be paid as such. I can't imagine what he's probably asking for Moose and Hosmer.
The other option would be just to ride it out, don't trade them and see if you're competitive in free agency.
