Larnach trade partner?

[thelanges5]

Cardinals are apparently looking for an outfielder. In steps Trevor Larnach. They have some lefties so that’s not great. 

How about Larnach + pitching prospect for JoJo Romero?

Anyone else in that bullpen that’s intriguing?

I would be on board with that move.  

 

Houston is also looking for LHH outfielders.

Riley O'Brien for the Cardinals.

I did notice the article said that the Cards had three left handed hitting outfielders. Romero was their closer after the Helmsley trade and saved 8 games with a 2.10 ERA in that role. He would be a tremendous addition for the Twins.

Larnach for McCullers and Houston pays the $10M for Correa this season.

I also like Jose Fleury.

I think a reasonable expectation for Larnach is a player on the fringe of another team’s roster. From the Astros that might be Nick Allen who they acquired in trade after the Braves DFA’d him. His defense at shortstop is very good.
