Heres a couple for fun:
1. Shore up rotation AND bullpen. Target: Reds Cueto and Chapman
Norris, Castro, Pentecost for Cueto and Chapman
2. Get a CF who can hit, but still play defense at a KP level. Target: Brewers Gomez. His contract is like $8 mill this year and next. When one of EE and JBau are no longer around team can build offense around Gomez/JD.
Pompey, Smorel, Nay for Carlos Gomez
SS Reyes
3B JD
RF BauBau
DH Edwin
CF CGomez
1B Smoak
C Martin
LF Pillar/Colla/Saunders eventually
2B Travis
Bench: Goins, Colla, Pillar, Navarro
Rotation: Cueto, Buerhle, Hutch, Sanchez, Dickey (when Stro show comes back he pushes Sanchez to pen - he has innings limit anyways)
BP: Chapman, Osuna, Cecil, Loup, Delabar, Estrada, Hendriks (weakest link gets demoted when Stro goes to rotation and Sanchez to pen)
We'd still have Osuna, Sanchez, Hoffman, Reid-Foley, Tirado, Boyd for up and coming pitchers.
