I believe 100% that if the cap hits weren't so big, they'd be pushing to trade LJ and TG too.
And FWIW, this has little/nothing to do with Allen's age when we're in a position to compete.
It has everything to do with his off the field behavior.
Resigning him to a long term deal is a HUGE risk, especially when he's publicly stated his demands to be traded, both this year AND last year.
