I wonder if they could match up as a trade partner since it looks like they are grasping at straws and could be sellers come 7/31. Rumors have them wanting to jump into the top tier FA pool so they could be looking to shed some salary.
I think Gyoroko could be a good option and provide insurance for 2B/3B and help vs LHP. His AAV isn’t bad and signed through 2019 with an option. Great insurance for Pedroia. According to Cots the Pads are paying 2.5M this year and 5M next. If you want to limit the prospects going that way maybe get Cecil as a LH option out the pen. He’s been solid for two months and they could want out of his 7ish million next year. I wouldn’t consider that an albatross. I’m starting to think we go over the 237M.

Carpenter & Norris would be nice additions Good call, a contender can't pass an opportunity to trade for a 33-year-old racist reliever with a four-year bWAR of -1.0 who just got his manager fired.

What’d I miss on Norris?

An article came out that he's basically been bullying Jordan Hicks, which Matheny tacitly defended, basically saying that people who didn't like it are too soft. And (kind of surprisingly) Cardinal management said publicly that the way Matheny handled the situation led to him getting canned.
Which, combined with Norris's statements on Hispanic players a couple years back... it's pretty clear he's not the kind of guy you want in a clubhouse where things seem to be going well.

It looks like Jose Martinez is falling out of favor there. Doubt he would be a fit this year bc it would be more of a drastic shake up to his team (probably need the DH spot) but he could be a name to follow this offseason. Has 4 more years of control after 2018.
