Jean Segura. Upgrade at short in the short term and replacement for Phillips in the long term and it would be a kick in the Brewers' nads.
Alex Gordan. The Royals haven't been smart since Bill James moved from Kansas City.

Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

Out of the realistic options I would say: Aramis Ramirez
Reds deal:
Broxton
Cingrani
Brewers deal:
Ramirez
10 million in cash to offset money
I know many won't deal Cingrani, but it's the only way Milwaukee kicks in money. I think they could use Broxton in their bullpen next year. If you look at what Broxton is making plus the 10 million you could afford Aramis.
Contracts:
Ramirez makes:
10 million this year
14 million in 2014
16 million in 2015
Broxton makes
7 million in 2014
9 million in 2015
If you can get the Brewers to kick in the extra 10 million you have your cleanup issue solved for a few years without much extra money.
Aramis gives you a legit #4 hitter.
Choo
Phillips
Votto
Aramis
Bruce
Ludwick
Hanigan
Cozart
World Series.
If you're going for it. Go for it.

I liked the idea of getting Stanton, but the players required to get him would be too much.
I have heard Bautista from Toronto thrown out there and he seems like a good option, especially at GABP.
Right handed power hitter.
Plays outfield.
Makes less than $15M this year
Plays for last place team.
2015 Attendance 2-1 (4/6, 4/7,4/24)
2014 Attendance 1-3 (3/31, 4/12, 8/14)
