I don't know why we couldn't legitimately try and trade him for whatever we can get and just platoon Maxwell and whoever there, Dyson even. I'm not kidding. That duo would outproduce Butler when you factor in the speed they bring to the basepaths. Butler doesn't hit for power any longer anyway, so you're not losing anything when he's out.
