That's a Parra or Pelfrey or Bud Norris. I'm already marking off Gordon and Zo and Madson as no ways and Chris Young as doubtful, as in they don't even want to match anything over a year on him .

Brantley is going to miss a good part of the year. Abraham Almonte is currently their starting CF (Jarrod Dyson would be a major upgrade). Lonnie Chisenhall is a below-average RF.
Their starting 1B is Giovanni Urshele, another JAG with a career .710 OPS in the minor leagues.
Carlos Santana is an OK bat but a horrible defensive 1B, and as you mentioned, they need another DH/1B type.
Their starting rotation is good, and they have a top 5-10 closer, but middle relief is nothing special.
So yeah, I'd say they have some holes. And they have no money to spend to plug any of them, and the only option they have for that is trading one of Carrasco or Salazar to fill it.
