Lerners will can Rizzo at the end of the season. They need a PR move, so clean slate while we build for the next era will be the pitch. I expect Rizzo will get offers not only for Rendon, but also Turner, Doolittle, Scherzer and Strasburg. I expect him to have at least one deal worked out that the Lerners veto. If he's smart, he quits at that point. My dream would be for him to pull of the type of deals Cashman made when he moved Miller, McCann, Chapman, and I forget who else, but Mark Lerner is not Hank Steinbrenner.
This is pretty much my expectation. (Though it's Hal running the show, not Hank. Hank is not involved.)
I think Adams, Rendon, Doolittle, Kendrick, Barraclough, Gomes & Eaton will be traded. Mark will veto a deal for Scherzer. We'll get 2 top-100 guys for Rendon (it may take us adding in another player to his deal, like Barraclough) but the rest of the guys we get will be mid-level or worse prospects. We need any we can get honestly and Rizzo's staff does a pretty solid job evaluating young players from other systems. If Dozier, Sipp, Guerra, Parra, etc. play well up until the deadline we could get a lottery ticket or two (or international spending money) from another team at best, but hey, sell of anyone you can.
To be honest, a core of Soto-Turner-Robles-Strasburg-Scherzer-Corbin is not terrible for next year, especially with money to spend.
