I'm $urprised - given that it's gonna cost a lot to get MadBum.
Not as much as Cole/Strasburg. MLB trade rumors is predicting a 4/$72 for MadBum. I'm good with that if LM lets AA spend more.
In fact after looking at MLB trade rumors 50 top FA predicitons and an article on Tomahawk Take on why not to resign Donaldson
, here is what I'd do this winter if AA can spend,

With that 25 mill that would have went to JD, sign Hamels( 2/30) and Moustakas(2/20).
MLB Trade rumors predicts both Hamels and Moustakas to the Braves on those exact deals. The project Grandal to the Reds.
I'm more on par with this, if we can get MadBum and Grandal. Also adding the experience of MadBum and Hamels to this staff, with both having tons of playoffs experience, both have won a WS. Would be really great for our young pitchers.
I'm also on board with adding two player at the cost of JD. JD's 25 = Hamels 15 and Moustakas 10.
Moustakas had a similar year to JD. JD had a higher WAR, Walks and OBP. Moustakas had 1 less error than JD, and 57 less strikeouts.
Mouk - 3.2 WAR 133 H 35 HRs 88 RBI .255/.329/.516/.845 53 BB 98 Ks 11 errors
JD - 6.1 WAR 142 H 37 HRs 94 RBI .259/.379/.521/.900 100 BB 155 Ks 12 errors
Bonus Moustakas is 3 years younger than JD.
