Taking him off third knocks his value down big time. He will find plenty of options at third

Yeah he would be able to find someone to play him at third.. But if we offer 5-10 million more, do you think he would care? Also, how much would it really knock him?  I'm assuming he would be average (at worst) at first base, at that's me being conservative.  Still a stud hitter.

I think he deserves his own thread at this point.  With JDM opting in and Abreu receiving a QO.. It may be time for us to explore some new alternatives.  What about Donaldson for first base?  A 3 year 65 million dollar deal I would think would get it close.

Donaldson is interesting, in that his position is not one of need, but his bat would be a welcome addition to the middle of our lineup. 

He's still a solid 3B, so I do not think we are the best fit for him to sign with. Could see the Braves wanting him back.

I don’t see the point of overpaying an injury-prone, mid-30s third baseman to convince him to change positions to be a short term stopgap for two of our top prospects (Vaughn, Collins) when a short-term stopgap already exists (Jose Abreu) and is loved in the clubhouse.

Yeah he’s a bit better than a Abreu, but let’s spend the money on pitching instead.

a bit better?  Dude is stratouspheres above Abreu. Agreed, I'd rather have top pitching though
