I would trade Gyorko right now. His hitting has fallen off and his defense is not enough of an upgrade over Carp (who has rated and passed the eye test as a pretty decent 3B this year) to justify his flagging bat.
Maybe we could get Mychal Givens off Baltimore for him? Jedd fills in as the Machado replacement and we have another good bullpen arm.
I like Wong to get every day starts the rest of the season and see what he can do. If he can’t hit out of the slump, he’s next to go in the offseason and we run out some combo of Schrock/Muñoz/Garcia at 2B unless we think we can upgrade SS or 3B (Dejong to 2B if it’s a SS). Carpenter would be adequate for a 1B/3B platoon but I think Jmart is probably best as a bench bat going forward.
Watching guys like Lindor and Simmons…man, wouldn’t it be nice if Delvin Perez was delivering the goods and already in A+ or AA to look forward to? What a disappointment so far.
