A year ago at the trade deadline, Jose Miranda was OPSing at .800 and it would have sounded foolish to suggest trading him, a young player on the rise. A year later, things look different.
With that said, would Bailey Ober be a good trade piece to give up? I don’t know. The Cardinals would be interested, I would think.
It would be nice to see Gray, Lopez and Ryan all keep pitching at high levels in order to give up a rotation piece like Ober for a bat like Goldschmidt or Arenado.
