I can’t argue with your logic and understand the concern. But if you had to include him in a package that returned a big right handed bat or a #1 or #2 pitcher wouldn’t you have to consider it? I certainly wouldn’t trade him if it were not a BIG deal.2ninr wrote: ↑25 Aug 2025 07:57 amTrade the only good everyday player we've developed in years, elite defense at the most important defensive position on the field and count on a guy who hasnt played a day in the majors. As much ad I like Westerholt, that just isnt a good idea. A good idea is to keep really good players.
Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?

Maybe he could be Shady's researcher, since Shady has zero ability to do researchTalkin' Baseball wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 20:07 pm Being an insurance salesman would probably be much easier on his knee, but it's probably not his best use.

It would make a whole lot more sense than moving his value elsewhere andJatalk wrote: ↑25 Aug 2025 10:07 amI can’t argue with your logic and understand the concern.

throwing it away while keeping him on the team.
Besides we have a better arm playing 3B now

Re: Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
As others have stated.....I have read nothing that says there is anything “chronic”.
Another MRI coming up.
Considering the Cardinals situation the worst case scenario would be they shut him down early if a surgical procedure is pending.
Just playing out the string in 2025 anyway.
Prep for 2026!

Perhaps if the Dodgers had moved Koufax to left field he would have stayed healthier. One of the dumbest he has done.
Re: Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
Just my opinion-Defense like Winns is a rarer commodity. Yes I would like to see his OPS increase a lot. But mostly I want him and Westerholt both. Trade Donovan if you must.Jatalk wrote: ↑25 Aug 2025 10:07 amI can’t argue with your logic and understand the concern.
