I agree on adding a 3rd OF and combining Saves and Holds (maybe if we still want to value saves above holds as they are more rare, the points system could be coded so a save is 2 points and a hold is 1), and I think Dan's suggestion of some sort of starts cap would help balance the value of pitchers. Just some ideas on categories--if we combined the Saves and Holds, maybe R and RBI could be combined into a Runs Created category or something to balance the number of categories for hitting and pitching evenly.
I think it might be helpful as well to make the Strikeouts category some sort of ratio, probably K/9...this would also significantly push teams to reach the innings minimum, or they would lose another category automatically, while also making the category less about just having more innings pitched.
Maybe also make the SB a Net SB category (SB - CS) to better reflect actual value.

There probably are things I haven't considered regarding these but here are some ideas I have had:
-innings cap: it seems to me at least that the non-ratio pitching categories are simply heavily weighted to favor the team that has more pitchers ( if you look at a graph for this year there is a great correlation with innings pitched and winning saves holds wins and strikeouts. What this is doing it seems is diluting the value of upper tier pitchers. There isn't a problem with hitters in this regard because most hitters play everyday so it balances naturally.
- trading money from players contracts - this would just promote more trades
I think some of the stat categories could be changed as well. And is there a reason for only having 2 outfield spots on the roster? Also on contract buyouts I think during the offseason only is prob best as otherwise teams not in contention could essentially buyout a contact with say 1week left in the season and thus not be penalized much. Just ideas though.

I have some ideas on changing some rules (such as teams being able to exchange money from a player's contract in a trade, a weekly innings cap for pitching, and so on). Should something like this be discussed in the off-season?

Probably no access from Monday (28/07) to Friday (01/08). Let me know as soon as possible if there is any interest for a trade before the trade deadline.
