I am sorry but Gorman is not a build around piece. I buy into your intent however. This team is done, and I for one welcome only one event at this point simply because the one thing you must have to have a championship team, is pitching. This team does not have it. You can buy a bat or two to put you over the finish line at the trade deadline. You can even buy a pitcher or two that is the finishing touch. This team needs both sides of the coin in big quantities. The management has already expressed they are not in the business of buying championships, and not for trading for them at the deadline. Which is a policy I agree with. The trade deadline prices are always too inflated. They need to sell right now. Let guys like Arenado, Contreras, Fedde and Gray see the light and jump ship with the managements blessing. Trade them along with guys that need a change of scenery like Gorman. Get what prospects you can and compete for a good draft position again next year. Use the offseason to jettison Moz and all his cruddy managers. Trade for some young guys and go into spring with a new mindset and team.

I can definitely understand both sides on the Gorman argument. I only mention this group to keep bc you cant sell off EVERYONE, then you would have to likely spend 70-80% on the new team and we know cheap Dewitt aint doing that

I don’t wish to sell NG either. His trade value can’t be great.

Unless he’s part of some larger ambitious trade package

Gorman and Walker for that matter cannot continue to take a spot on the MLB roster and not be a piece with purpose. Even if they ride the bench then they should at least be dangerous late game bats. They just are not. Neither one exhibits a command of the strike zone. They are mistake hitters that rarely get a mistake pitch. They need a change of scenery and the cards need the roster spot.

Wetherholt is the 2B so your fine locking Donovan down to an extension at 5/70 ish as a no power LF?

Yep. Also, Lars has 12 HRs to BDs 8. Not like you're losing any power there.

I think it depends on what the cardinals game plan is going to be going forward if they are going to let bloom spend to previous mo levels then keep Donovan if you’re trying to build a team to win now he’s absolutely a player you want on that team you can find playing time for him and he can play second when JJ goes down with hammie issues If they are going for a full blown rebuild sell no reason to keep him and you could get a good prospect in return for him

He is certainly not untouchable. We have nobody untouchable. If he's untouchable you're saying no if the cubs offer PCA. Nobody is untouchable

Why would the Cubs offer PCA for BD?
