If we had an MLB ready bluechip prospect blocked by an established vet then I could see it happening (but we don't) otherwise it makes no sense because you're just robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The reason I see Tulo being traded is because Goins finished off the season very strong. He's not a bluechip prospect or anything of that sort, but he's a left handed bat in a line up full of righties, so as an everyday player he can be a contributor. His defence is top notch as well, so sitting him as the fourth infielder wouldn't make much sense. He's an above average player that should be playing IMO.
