I actually think that if they were to sign Springer they'd probably look to see what they could get for Grichuk in a trade.
Apparently Atkins stated that they still haven't closed the door on Vlad playing some 3B going forward. Maybe a dangling carrot to try and get him to commit to better fitness this off season. Probably a product of having both he and Tellez on the roster too though, plus Kirk looking ready as well. They have a lot of heavy, slower DH type guys and while Kirk is a catcher, so is Jansen and right now Jansen is a better catcher and Kirk looks like a bat you want to keep in the line up more often than not.
They have a lot of really good pieces, but they don't really seem to fit together properly just yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pretty big trade or two this off season to be honest.
