The Camargo/Ruiz option makes sense in so many ways.

A true platoon at third if felt necessary, although Camargo has already shown plenty of versatility.

A potent, cheap bat on the bench every night.

Payroll, payroll, payroll.

And, frankly, showcasing a valuable piece of a BIG deal.

A FA third baseman would be pointless.

If we were able to trade Kemp at all, it would be the Kimbrel deal made even worse; a piece we'd hate to lose would have to be included (Soroka, Gohara, 3B) to get not much in return.
