I don't think it's fair to say that everyone is all about greed. I'm fine with the plan that was first pitched and I'm fine with retiring all those players, too. Whatever is the best way to dismantle a team that should have never been allowed to be built in the first place ... I'm sure there are plenty of others in the world who feel the same way.
If the draft doesn't work, there's no reason that we can't do 2-for-1s or 3-for-1s.
