Jay Jaffe: I don’t assume the Dodgers see something as “should” no less than within the close to time period. They’ve motive to hope that after present process wrist surgical procedure, Miguel Rojas can present one thing nearer to a league-average bat with plus protection filling in for Lux, and that they’ve sufficient depth to permit Chris Taylor to play there as effectively. There’s no means on God’s inexperienced earth they’re taking up Javier Baez’s contract or giving up a beginning pitcher prospect for him, and I doubt they see Isiah Kiner-Falefa as an choice, both. Not sue who you see on the Reds as an choice, however ex-Pirate Adam Frazier (now an Oriole) isn’t a shortstop, totaling simply 26 innings on the place within the majors.
One man price keeping track of is the Cardinals’ Paul DeJong, who after being displaced by Tommy Edman labored to rebuild his swing after being despatched down final 12 months, although the dividends actually weren’t obvious on the main league degree. If he’s recovered his type, he might be of curiosity.
