Alvarez made just under $6 million last year, I doubt he's doubling his salary in 2016. And I don't think he played any 3B last year, he's just not a good fielder.It doesn't fit with anything Cashman has done the last two years, but the more I think about it, the more I would try to get Pedro Alvarez on a big one year deal ($12-15M?). That would give NY a real backup at 3B and 1B and a huge LHB, insurance if Headley starts sucking again. That might not be enough but he could put up a nice HR/AB ratio, spend a year back home in the Bronx and then go back out on the market next year, this time without Chris Davis in his way. His agent is Boras, though, so not holding my breath.
Although he did play in college with David Price, so he's got that going for him.
