Should the Twins trade for J.D. Martinez?

Nelson Cruz has recently expressed his desire to wait out free agency in hopes of 15 more clubs vying for his services via the universal DH. He could be coveted by more than a handful of teams, prompting the Twins to have to meet his demand of a two year deal.

J.D. Martinez also has two years (one player option) remaining on his contract for just under $40 million. The 33-year-old slugger struggled like many stars in 2020, but is a prime bounce back candidate on a Red Sox team that has shown a willingness to trade salary. Should the Twins be interested? What would it cost? Is it worth it?
