JR took less to re-sign.
Andy's getting moved.
Sign and trade a maxed Tristan somewhere gives us some type of flexibility.
We're over the cap for the presumable future but that doesn't mean we don't have options as far as improving the team.
The cap won't continue to go up as it has to go down at some point. In other words, a maxed out Tristan locks our roster for the future.

TL;DR a sign and trade with Tristan gives us other pieces to add to the team.
