He should be available soon but they really don't need him now
Travis and Tulo are locked in, and Barney seems like the best overall utility infielder.
We need mostly OF backup at the moment
He does seem like the kind of guy who would take a 1 year deal hoping to have a good year and cash in after that, rather than accept a mediocre 3 year deal now. Even though the latter MIGHT be smarter financially.
