If it gets to July and they are still dropping popups and running to 1B via the mound then perhaps you trade everyone that won't be here next year, including Pham and Canha (ugh, I'm a fan!), for more "one-year away" prospects. The earlier you do it (as with the EE trade) the more value the other team gets out of the player. The Mets can keep their core intact so they can claim they are not giving up on this season while trying to improve the team for next year and the farm system overall.
