Both have trade value. WC just said he would consider waiving his NTC.
I can see Bloom aggressive on trading both for 2 REASONS:
1. GET PROSPECTS
2. BLAZE JORDAN
It's just a hunch, but I don't think Bloom acquired Jordan to see him 'grow' in Memphis for two more years. He obviously has a lot of heart for that kid, and the moves he make this offseason could be motivated by giving Blaze a lane on the MLB roster...

Interesting perspective. He may not need 2 years-but probably 26 in Memphis. For sure I like the idea of trying something dIfferent.

Exactly what role do you foresee for a 6' tall, 220 LB RH hitter who has no speed, no position, no range, and who has hit just 56 HR across the past 4 full minor league seasons?

I personally don’t have much of a read on Blaze Jordan.
Not saying he couldn’t be in the mix?
My opinion?
Burleson or Gorman to 1B.

Sub .800 OPS MiLB bats typically do not translate to MLB MOTO bats. Just sayin'
