Imagine you’re a professional baseball player and pretty darn good one, too.

You’re coming off a season in which you batted .303 with 45 home runs and 104 RBIs for two teams and was 14th in the National League MVP voting, despite only playing 62 games after being traded to that NL squad.

You’re 30 years old. A career .285 hitter and you’re not a shabby defensive outfielder.

And less than 10 days before spring training is about to begin, no one has signed you.

You’re J.D. Martinez and you’re a free agent.

One could make quite the team out of the available free agents on the market just shy of spring training:

Catchers: A.J. Ellis and Chris Stewart. Backups, sure. But serviceable.

First base: Eric Hosmer. There’s no shortage of quality free agents at this position, but Hosmer is the best of a deep group. He hit .318 with 25 homers and 94 RBI last season.

Second base: Neil Walker. He’s the same Walker he was in Pittsburgh. Steady. Reliable. Some pop.

Third base: Mike Moustakas. It’s not often a dude who hit 38 bombs is still on the market, but welcome to MLB, 2018.

Shortstops: Erick Aybar and J.J. Hardy. This position is a bit thin, but a Aybar-Hardy platoon won’t kill a team.

Outfield: Martinez, Melky Cabrera, Carlos Gonzalez, Jose Baustista, Rajai Davis. Here you have a good mix of power and speed to piece together.

Martinez is the linchpin. Gonzalez is just one year removed from a 100-RBI season and two from a 40-dinger campaign. Bautista is most likely washed up, but still has a few homers (and a few animated bat flips) in him. Davis has jets. And Cabrera is a steady performer.

A lot of teams would salivate over a position-player list like this. And most would come relatively cheaply.

Of course, some draft picks would be lost, but it’s a win-now league.

Pitching is where things get a little pricey.

Starting pitchers: Yu Darvish, Alex Cobb, Lance Lynn, Jake Arrieta, Jason Vargas. That’s 65 wins, nearly a 1,000 innings and an ERA in the mid-3s.

And the potential for better.

Vargas was an 18-game-winner last year.

Relief pitchers: They’re a dime a dozen. You can comfortably fill out a pretty good pen with players still on the market.

Closer: Seung-Hwan Oh. He was the closer for the Cardinals at the beginning of last season before losing that job. But he has closer stuff.

So do many of the arms in the pen that can be converted to closer, like, um, Tony Watson (cough, cough).

Closer is one of the most overrated positions in all of sports.

As you can see, this is a pretty solid team and one that would probably come in at around a $125 million payroll — middle of the road by today’s standards, unless you’re in Miami or Pittsburgh. It’s also a team that could potentially win 90-95 games, or what Miami and Pittsburgh might win combined this season.

The Pirates should be so lucky to have such a lineup and pitching staff.
