Not even interested in a long drawn out mess with either. I would like to keep Bourne but Jair should have been moved along with Prado for that bat.

Move Jair for an outfield bat (a good outfield bat); keep Bourn this year and let him go off to Free Agency next year. Save the money you were gonna use on Bourn and sign one of the best FAs available next year (we'll have over 40 million spending money next off season)
