I still think a trade with Minny is the most likely play. Get Polanco to play 3B and Kepler to play the OF. Gives the team a couple more bats from the left side, Kepler with some pop for the 5 hole. Polanco can shift to 2B late in the game while IKF comes into third as the defensive replacement. Polanco can also cover SS in a pinch so no more need for another wasted roster spot. Minny is cutting payroll due to their TV deal mess, they also need starting pitching. Manoah and Espinal should serve as the basis for a deal.
