I'd still go after Fernandez via trade route hard. If it doesn't involve Sano, Berrios, Buxton, Gonsalves or Jay, they can put together whatever package the Marlins see fit.

Not sure I would want to give up Max in a deal yet.

I love Fernandez. but I agree with the guys you want to protect. I would add Gordon to the list also as he is really our only SS option in the minors (I don't think Polanco will ever be a SS). Polanco, Walker and Stewart are all top 10 prospects in the best minor league in baseball. Add in an Arcia or Vargas, and maybe they bite.
I don't know much about John Hicks. Can he hit? Frame? Get baserunners? I'm also concerned about his age. He did finish 2nd in the 1972 Heisman balloting.

I wouldn't do this trade in the offseason. He has talent for sure but enough flags to be a concern. I am not sure this clubhouse is ready for him yet either.
