So, at the earliest, he could begin baseball activities in March. That's not ideal, but hopefully he'll be back and fully healthy by mid-season and he can put this injury behind him for good.
I'm guessing this involves some positive projections of Osuna in the rotation. I see it as more of a 2 win uprade, but I'd still gladly take 2 wins @ $7-8M.
There are literally no free agent relievers as good as O'Day, and judging by the cost of Kimbrel, the trade market for Chapman, Robertson or Miller might very well cost more than $30M worth of prospects.
I'm not actually trying to sell Cervelli, just poking holes in NJH's trade value as he continually tries to do with Pujols. Santana has a fabulous walk rate and a dogshit batting average, the end result is that he's not the OBP monster you might think he is. It's fine if you wan't to settle for a sub-.800 OPS at 1B though, and 18-20 HR.
2014 & 2015 Santana - .231/.361/.411, .342 wOBA
2014 & 2015 Cervelli - .296/.370/.409, .345 wOBA
Anybody want a guy who's the same age as Santana, gets on base MORE, and actually still has C eligibility?
Whichever one of you losers doesn't get Carlos Santana and his .230 AVG/(data missing)/.400 SLG, come talk to me and we can cut a reasonable deal for Pujols.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Darren O'Day is asking for a four-year
deal in the range of $28-36 million.
It's hard to say he won't get it, as O'Day is at or near the
top of the class of free agent relievers. The 33-year-old sidearmer owns a 1.92
ERA over the past four seasons. With several contenders
