He'd be a nice FA pickup in the offseason if the price is right. In the trade market... not sure what he'd take at this point, though I can't imagine it's a ton.

He was mostly healthy last year and was a .750 OPS guy. Pretty good defender at 3B and good all-around player (similar to Gordon as a base runner).
This would be like acquiring Mike Schmidt compare to the pit of despair we've had at 3B
