The St. Louis Cardinals recently activated their aged and experienced third baseman, Jhonny Peralta. While I have pushed for him to be traded- and I still feel this way- I think his activation has more of a ripple effect on catching prospect and heir apparent to Yadier Molina, Carson Kelly.
Let me say this before moving on, this post is completely my speculation. I know no facts that support my thoughts other than my having watched GM John Mozeliak’s moves over the past few seasons. I think what I’m going to suggest here has a greater potential of actually happening than some of the rumors I have proposed in the past.
