Many of us, including myself, tried to write off Larnach at the beginning of the year. Even if you are judging by will they help next year, the length of time that Jenkins and Emmy have been injured this year would still allow a carveout for Larnach to be around for, at minimum, the remainder of the year and maybe even given a spot early next season. If Buxton is traded, Larnach will need to maintain his position in the OF so someone else can cover CF. Long-term, Larnach is probably not part of the next great team. Short and mid-term, his bat will be needed to put the best team out there to compete every day.
