I'd sooner address one of the serious holes we have with that kind of money, or better yet address the depth issue we now see come to light. I don't mind using guys as trade bait, but we already have Pudge, Maggs, and KRog soaking up big chunks of salary, and I'd be suprised to see DD chase another big piece unless Illich really does plan on becoming a 90-100 mil salary team.
That said Zito switched to Boras and you know how he and DD get along. Could it happen? Maybe. Would it really be the best move given our limited resources and obvious, easy to fill holes? Not IMO.
