On the block: Hamels, Headley, Kang, Drew, Worley...

I have made a trade that makes the following otherwise regular 25-man roster players all expendable:

Cole Hamels ($9.9M/2017)
I'm more than willing to eat a bad salary to make this happen. Cole is a #4 starter for a playoff team, but his $9.9M price... yeah.

Jung Ho Kang ($250K/2019)
He's simming well in all my preseason sims as the main platoon partner at 3B (VG). You'll need a September call-up to complete the numbers. Plus, there's that DUI thing...

Chase Headley ($500K/2019)
EX 3Bman platoon partner vLHP for this year, anyway. He's starting off the real life 2017 year extremely well with the Yanks, too.

Stephen Drew ($250K/2019)
He was my insurance policy for Kang. Equal offensive numbers, but only AV at 3B, but VG at 2B.

Vance Worley ($250K/2018)
3.53 ERA and EX as a reliever (but can also start). I'm using him as a mop-up, and in all my sims his ERA is less than 3.5.
