Yeah - we need to see some extensions this off-season.
We don't want to keep taking guys past their FA season, IMO. Especially when they've established their level of play. There's really no reason NOT to get a deal done with Creed. The market for him is established. If you don't want to play in that market, you may be best off trading him and getting started on a replacement while retaining Allegretti as an emergency option.
Creed should be an easy, if expensive, extension. Bolton is a more open question but if he would take a Logan Wilson deal, you get that one done as well.
But if you're going to keep a young core together, taking them all to FA is a rough way to do it.
