This is what they should have done in the first place. If they can get Bucholz for Martinez, they could have kept Lee and at least had a decent rotation next year, giving the fans hope and still cutting out Martinez's salary for next year.

Also, those of you who call the Dolan's cheap....don't forget they are locked into almost 35 million dollars of guaranteed contracts to a DH with a chronic bad shoulder, a pitcher who has just had Tommy John surgery, and a closer with barely a 75% success rate.
