What do you guys think of this:
- Garrett Richards to the NL West (Giants/Dodgers/Padres - possibly Angels/Mets as well) - Carlos Santana to the Red Sox - Possible Red Sox 40-man casualty to the Royals - Lower level prospect from team receiving Richards to the Royals
This keeps the team under the lux tax and improves their largest weakness. It assumes that one of Sale/Houck/Whitlock can fill the final rotation spot (it's a bit risky with depth, but let's ride the health luck)
Two issues I've found: 1. Santana has a second year on his contract. This could be a good thing as it would bridge to Casas, but it would also restrict their FA options slightly 2. Although his a switch hitter, Santana has been much better from the right side over the past 4 years. So this would likely send Dalbec down to the minors.
Santana has a 113 wRC+ this season and is pretty solid defensively

Not that I have any problems dealing richards, I'm not l sure the Richards gymnastics are necessary. I believe Santana makes 8.8 million we're at 95 games played and by the deadline will be over 100 so we're talking 3 million or so towards luxury tax this year. Then again I'm not exactly sure which sites to believe in terms of what their spending is projected at. Some say they're 5ish million under and at least one thinks they're over by a bit.
