Do NOT care how but the following shall NEVER wear the Birds on Bats ever:

Baker

[juan good eye]

1) WC
2) BD
3) Gray

Give Noot, Gorman, and Walker another chance to build value. I would trade Noot and Gorman for sure in the next 12 months.

Keep Nado unless good offer comes.

At this time are zero untouchables on the roster or within the organization.

[Hoosier59]

Arenado, Contreras, and it was Nootbaar, but with his surgery the return will still have to good. If not keep him until he proves he’s healthy again. So, if not Nootbaar, then Gorman. I keep Gray unless the return is “ can’t miss” !

[Dazepster]

Noot, Gorman and Gray.

[zuck698]

Can I keep all the players and get a real Manager who is a leader instead?

Haha, wish I would have thought of that first! Good one!

[Carp4Cy]

Gorman
Noot
Oli

Ha, just saw this. We were thinking alike.

[cardstatman]

Trade the slow lefties who don't field well.

• 1. Burleson L - has value, trade high for SP or RH OF; no defense or speed; replace with Torres L
• 2. Nootbar L - has value; declining speed, defense, hitting; replace with Church L
• 3. Gorman L - has value; no defense or speed; replace with Fermin R

Walker to AAA... otherwise traded if you don't have the guts to send him down.

If you find a trade for Arenado, then keep Burleson. Burly in LF, Donovan to 3B

Speed and defense matter. It will help the pitching look better.

DH Herrera R
C Pages R, Crooks L
1B Contreras R
2B Wetherholt L, Fermin R
SS Winn R, Saggese R
3B Arenado R (or Donovan L)
LF Donovan L (or Burleson L)
CF Scott L
RF Church L, Torres L --- holding spot for Baez (or the return of Walker)

[CCard]

this winter if you only had 3 trades that teams would make with you.
I’ll start.. Arenado , Gray, Gorman

Firstly that would be dependent on the return. Nootbaar, Arenado and Donovan. Probably the best return would be for Donovan. I could see Noot getting some return but probably gonna have to pay some freight to move Arenado. I still think Arenado is the best player they have at third base, but he's declined so much with the bat that it's not exciting to see him come up. I hope he gets traded somewhere that he has a chance for a ring. Noot and Donny are both injury prone now. Better to move on from them I guess. Bring up Wetherholt and see what he can do.

[Vinegar Ben]

Gorman, Gorman, Gorman, Contreras, Walker

[DewittDaman11]

Nootbaar, Gorman, Arenado.

These would be my three choices, as well.

Bc you like never winning in the postseason? DFIB

[C-Unit]

I would prioritize trading Arenado, Gray, and Contreras.

I'll go Arenado Gray Contreras

+1 to both of you

That puts Donovan at third? No team Ace, and Burleson to first. Is that correct.

Your 3 players to trade, Sikeston Bulldog ?

Tough call. I will wait a year and see if the Bloom culture helps Walker.

I don’t like Gorman at third, to error prone, kills pitchers momentum. Unless he goes to first, there is no place. IH has DH covered.

So Gorman is one. Noot. No real place here. Willy. Frees up first.

I keep Gray.

In your scenario I'd rather have Donovan at 3rd than Gorman for the reasons you state. Gorman is certainly a spare piece. The question being do you trade him at his point of low value or try to keep him around hoping he can have a decent first half. He would have to play all around the infield and some DH time, semi-regular playing time.

[ICCFIM2]

Arenado - His time has passed.
Nootbar - I don't see his upside. Even if he starts the season with the team due to the injury, I keep him on this list.
Pages/Crooks - They have excess at C and should get something in return of similar value in a position of need.

I did not put Gorman on the list as he can get more runway in 2026 while they sort out the infield.
I did not put Donovan on the list as I still think he will be in his prime when the team is ready to compete. But, if they are not intending on extending him, I would put him on the list if the return is right.
I did not put Gray on the list as the team severely lacks SP. He is not taking anyone's spot.
I did not put Contreras on the list, but probably should have in place of Pages/Crooks as we have plenty of players who can play 1B.
I did not put Walker on the list as his value is likely zero. They need to give it one more go.
I did not put Pallante on the list, but would trade him if there was any value coming back.
