I think it's very unlikely they sign JP. He's aging with terrible range with the potential for 1 maybe even 2 seasons of lockout. The FO doesn't want to be saddled with that especially if they need to navigate a salary cap around it

He's in a weird boat where he still has some value as a hitter, but is pretty bad defensively. But then you run into the issue that he isn't a good enough hitter to be a DH and also doesn't offer much if anything in the way of base running.
