I know fans liked JD while he was here, but a few things that haven't really be considered aside from his name:
- He left critiquing management (doubt they want him or Stroman back)
- He's not durable, so him as your 3B is out of question
- Salary for bench player

I don't see a fit guys. They have other needs to spend money on, and he's just a nice to have for the bench. Can't see him working out here all things considered.

Personally, I want to see the bullpen and starting pitching bolstered. Once those are in place, I think Grichuk can be dealt for a tweak. I'd also keep Espinal and Biggio to fight it out for 2nd and 3rd base daily. They both have significant upside, and I'm sure they'll work hard this year to get better. Two high potential guys, why not try for another half season to see what transpires?
