DFA Infante... the guy is a black hole. He plays 1 position, doesn't hit, can't run, old.. provides zero except Money sink and takes a valuable roster spot. See if he'll go to AAA, if not, bye-bye.
That's not a lot to get excited about, with two big question marks at corner outfield. Infield is slightly better than last year. Not quite as strong in the bullpen with the loss of Holland and Madsen, but Soria very well could fill a hole. Tim Collins will start out in AAA as he works back from TJ. Not a lot of consistent success in the Rotation outside of Volquez... But the ability is there.
Without adding a lot of payroll, kick tires on Corner OF's for a package around Herrera. Try to sign Parra.
I might even see what you could possibly get for Moustakas while his value may be high.... You have Cuthbert who could step in with basically similar production.

No, and no!
You're not going to get immediate value from moving Moose.
That's just a horrible idea. Did you just premise the idea that because Cuthbert is available that Moose is a chip to cash in?
I don't see any feasible way you trade Mike and improve your opening day 25 man roster.
I'm sure the fans would be super pumped for 2016 minus Gordo, Moose, and BZ!
The Mooseman, whose got those antlers mounted on top of his jeep, would probably drive straight into the K in outraged protest.
