I believe this year's trade deadline is the end of August. It's clear we need a bat(s). Who though? JD Martinez to DH? If Eaton doesn't shape up could we go after little Yaz?
even a month of JD is very expensive, like in the $4MM range, so I don't see it. OTOH, little Yaz will cost a fair amount of talent since he's an established major leaguer now with multiple years before FA.
