I personally think that, if he is, it will be a giveaway designed to give him a change of scenery. I also think wherever he goes, he will figure things out, but not as strongly as I used to.

If he figures it out it will be with a team like the Yankees with a short porch for left handers or the Rockies or another team with a hitter friendly park and of course people will say see the cardinals traded him too soon like people believe Contreras would be doing the same thing he is if he stayed in St. Louis as he is doing at the green monster. But Gorman isn’t very bright he’s way too slow in adjusting when pitchers adjust to him and his pitch recognition is awful

I've said I think he'd be a valued throw in for Toronto. Because they have such little power in their lineup. They would stick him at 2B tomorrow and be happy at the thought of him hitting 20 homers.

Two possibilities.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
He has 15 HR, 44 RBI, and 40 runs scored for the year in just over 300 AB's - so there would be strong interest since there is just one LH hitting 3B who is comparable.
I am sure he would be delighted to get to work with a better manager and staff.

In Gorman’s defense, it’s probably difficult to make contact while trying to hit with a horn under your helmet throwing off your balance.

You had me at “maybe, maybe not.” Such insight and wisdom. Lol

We’ll see who brings back more in a trade: Nootbar or Gorman? I predict there’s little to no interest in Gorman.
