It appears that Jose Martinez who has played 1B, LF and RF for the Cardinals may be available with their acquisition of Paul Goldschmidt.
Living in St. Louis gives me a little perspective and I am not a huge Jose Martinez fan, truth be told, as I don't like his basic numbers that much and he is an older guy (31) even though his ML experience is limited (1+ years). However, he is an upgrade to what we have and is controllable and there is no full-time position for him right now in St. Louis.
I doubt if the Cardinals would go for this but I could see us making the following trade:
Kluber, Kipnis and $5 million for Martinez, Dakota Hudson, Ryan Helsley and Kolten Wong
Helsley may be a little too much to ask for in this trade but that is where I would start and if I had to throw in another minor leaguer I could see us giving up Dalbert Siri.
Just a thought.
