Jose Martinez


The Cardinals have made 1B/OF Jose Martinez available for trade. He has 4 years of control and is Pre-Arbitration for one more season.

 

Martinez has hit over .300 in his first two seasons at the MLB level. He has some pop, walks a fair amount, and has struck out at a reasonable 20% of his career at bats. He hits both righties and lefties well and would be an everyday option for us at first or at one of the two corner outfield spots. Adding him to the middle of the order with his skill set would give us a big boost offensively. Defense is not his strong suit though, but that could improve some coming over to the Brewers.

 

This would give us the option of moving Aguilar for prospects or including him in a trade for another MLB guy.

 

What would it take to get Martinez? The Cardinals are in win now mode and are probably interested in acquiring MLB talent back as part of the return.

Good hitter, but can't field. If he's available in July for super cheap maybe he's a worthwhile target where you can hide him on the 25 man for a month before rosters expand, but he's not really a fit on this roster over the course of 162.

Cards need to find a team that needs a DH. That's where that guy belongs.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
