Immensely talented player, but he is definitely a headcase. He just crumbled.
Crazy idea: dangle him to the Cubs for Javier Baez and Starlin Castro. Gordon is a pinch runner masquerading as an everyday player. That would allow you to let Ramirez walk (after offering him a QO), recoup a draft pick, set your outfield w/ Kemp, Pederson, and Ethier/Crawford while adding value up the middle of the diamond.
