Understandable, to further explain I think by shipping Joe M. to ARZ he clears up enough payroll to warrant further immediate action. With 12M in bad contracts coming off the books, another 10M in bad contracts that can be cut with a small amount of cash (drew/chou) or a payroll dump deal he has plenty of flexibility to keep the majority of his team, especially his (arguably) best asset in Hunter.
I think with some patience MIN could find away to keep his young ace without having to give up anything significant on his end, especially in the midst of another playoff run (and after losing a solid bat)
