I wouldn't let the luxury tax effect us for this year. It gets progressively worse as time goes on, but year one it's not that bad. If that is the case with Arte, then what about a reunion with Kendrys? He will cost less than Garza and if we trade Trumbo+, we could get get a pitcher = to Garza, while replacing Trumbo with a better hitter in Kendrys.
