But, if this rumor is true, then they are not going to trade for Goldy. Which I think would have been a really stupid move anyway. A good side benefit.

My feelings are Harper or bust. Otherwise I don't see any compelling targets that are upgrades for this offense/defense. I would rather go into the season with Fowler as a starter than Moose. If he is healthy and reverts to the OBP averages he had before getting hurt he would be more valuable to the line up than Moose.
Goldy would help this offense for sure. I'm guessing it would cost us quite a bit in prospects for just a one year deal. Now if they get him to sign something reasonable with the trade as an extension that would change things, but why would he? Most likely we would again be paying for a declining player at the highest level (see Fowler).
If you want to do something big, throw everything at Harper AND trade for Goldy. I could live with watching Carp underhand it across the diamond for a that line up.
