Joel sherman just said that if the Cardinals are shipping Piscotty off to Oakland then Grichuk is more then likely staying with the Cardinals. Said from what he has heard its Alcantara and three other lower minor league players

Maybe Nick Plummer is going in the deal.

Maybe Nick Plummer is going in the deal.

How would you feel if it were Alcantara, D. Perez, Plummer?

I'm surprised the Cards arent getting Ziegler as well. Just taking on his salary should be able to reduce the amount of prospects the Cards need to give up.

My guess is Mo is leaving room to take on salary in another deal (Longoria seems likely).

An outfielder is going back to Miamil... but which outfielder?

Not a fan. Two former first rounders, despite minor league setbacks, is bad. Both still young.

Perez plays short and I still expect him to be at least a late-bloomer Addison Russell.

Baseball Prospectus just release the 2018 prospect rankings and had Perez down at ~18, from top-5 last year. Said he has a weak bat and is looking more like a speed/utility player at present. I think you have to like that deal--Plummer doesn't project too highly at present and is an OFer so by all means IMO.

That’s what I was thinking...surprised it’s not grichuk?

They’re possibly going to trade every one of their starting OFs, so they need someone cheap to play in mlb next year...

Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports hears the Marlins "intend to hold onto Christian Yelich."

There is a massive organizational fire sale underway in Miami, with Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna already out the door, but Yelich is under the Marlins' control through 2021 with a club option for 2022 and they apparently want to try to build around the 26-year-old outfielder. Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area confirms this thought, tweeting Wednesday that the Giants "have repeatedly been told" by the Marlins that Yelich is not available.

[Warning]

I really like the addition of Ozuna. I've watched a lot of the Marlins the last few years and he always impressed me. Last year wasn't a huge surprise to me. I am like everyone else just anxious to see what we gave up.

We can officially say we have a legit middle of the order MLB bat. Now let's get another.
