If you want to trade him, this is the year to do it. Put out fliers and take offers. His value is only going to decrease because of his age and wear and tear.

You miss my point...
I don't want to trade him this year ~ we've got a chance to make a run.
Granted, the number of years left to get value for him are running out, but we could still have that option 2 or 3 years from now only if we renegotiate his contract now.
We're really saying the same thing about a trade being made when the player still has a year left - if he wants to be traded. The type of contract Carl can sign him to will have a lot to do with whether he is tradable ~ whether he has one year, or three years left on it.

keep tony while we're still in position to make a run ~ then see what our options are...
