I think that's a valid question to ask.
I rarely like to dump, so I usually try to find a way to be competitive every year. In RJEL, I think I have a really good team, but as others have noted here, there are a couple of powerhouses that are dominating and are 27-36 points ahead. I'm currently battling for 4th place (which is the last money spot) and best case, maybe I get to 3rd. 5th place gets the top pick in the rookie draft, of which I still own my 1st rounder, so all is not lost.
I've made a few moves already, dealing away Gallo 7-'20, Hiura, DuPlantier & India (all unactivated) & Hampson 4-zero, but I'm hesitant to trade away my last few chips to possibly not gain any real ground. My last few chips are my draft picks (I own all), MLers Hays, Singer, Turang & Ray, and some quality actives who are helping me: Realmuto 11-B, Dietrich 1-A, Dyson 3-A, Corbin 9-'20, Hader 2-A, Wheeler 3-B, Berrios 9-'20, Caleb Smith 4-A.
I'm up against the cap, but could clear out $20-$30 if need be in dead parts.
Is it time to just ride it out? I could use a couple of starting pitchers as I'm 2nd to last in wins and mid-pack in ERA (although I'm 3rd in Ks) and don't really need much on offense.
