Think they could get him for JD+? With no DH and Dom/Pete on the team JD is expendable. Obviously his current health poses a problem.

I think the Twins would be happy just to unload him
Donaldson would be a cool acquisition.
I think the priority should be starting pitching and third base. Center field somewhat further behind.
Candelario and Boyd would be an interesting package deal from the Tigers. Robbie Grossman has been mentioned a lot, too.
If the reds were willing to trade Castellano, Miley, Castillo, Gray, or Suarez, I’d definitely consider that too.
I doubt the Orioles move Means or Mullins but they’d both be great option. Santander and Mancini would be good acquisitions too. I see Mancini staying out, though. Coming back from cancer and kicking *** probably has him as something of a folk hero in that clubhouse.
Maybe call the Mariners about Seager, too.
Dbacks have Ketel Marte who would be super valuable. Escobar, Peralta, and Locastro are all other interesting picks.
Giants have a lot of nice pieces but I think they’re legit and won’t sell. Having Zaidi at the helm must help.
Kyle Gibson or Mike Minor from the Rangers? Go ahead and grab Gallo or somebody while you’re at it.
Probably a lot of other guys but I wonder if there’s a trade to be made with a contender. Maybe trade a pitcher to the Astros for Aledmys Diaz, or something. I’d like to see something sooner rather than later, though.

SP is going to be a must, especially considering how often they push Carrasco's return back. You need a prayer for any relevant Syndergaard return as well. Would love to get a CFeer or a 3rd baseman but we'll see.
Two guys who I’d keep an eye on
Max Scherzer - final year of his contract, Nats are out and likely want to recoup some of that salary as well as grab a prospect for a rebuild
Mitch Haniger - he’s got another year left on his contract, I can see him being a Conforto replacement
I don’t think they care, I don’t think we have a massive rivalry with them like we do with the Phillies.
I’m sure lots of teams will be inquiring, hopefully the remaining salary scares them off
A playoff rotation of Degrom, Scherzer, Stroman, Walker with Syndergaard in the pen is terrorizing
Part of me wants Bartolo back.
scherzer/means or gibson we would probably have to give up alvarez for means or scherzer but maaaan we would have one of the best rotations ever.
If the Nats do indeed want to trade Scherzer, then the Dodgers, Padres or White Sox would get a better return than the Mets could give .
Also, the White Sox really want to win a WS for Reinsdorf who is getting on in age and Scherzer would be a perfect fit for them.
What about Starling Marte from the Marlins ? Although when Nimmo comes back what do you do with Pillar and Nimmo ? Love Pillar . He reminds me of the old Mets like Backman and Dykstra .
