It would be a nice upgrade. He's 31 and will be a free agent following this season. Not sure what his trade market would be (and can't imagine the Padres could risk offering him a qualifying offer, as he hasn't played at a level deserving of $16 million).
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).
