The St. Louis Cardinals should give the White Sox a call
The St. Louis Cardinals will likely spend their free agent cash on a big bat for the outfield meaning that they probably won’t have the money to bring back starting 3B Mark DeRosa. With that in mind they should give the White Sox a call. The White Sox need help in the bullpen and the Cardinals could use some insurance at 3B in case David Freese is not ready for prime time. I think the Cardinals should offer righty reliever Brad Thompson to the White Sox for 3B/LF Josh Fields. The White Sox have grown a little sour on Fields but he still has a huge upside so the Cardinals should try to strike when the iron is hot and attempt to get him on the cheap.
UPDATE: Fields has been traded to the Royals so this can’t happen anymore, plus, the Cardinals have released Thompson.
