Well-regarded pitching prospect Matt Liberatore has been traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the St. Louis Cardinals, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN. It's part of a trade expected to send major league pieces back to Tampa Bay, which has been searching for outfield bats.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) January 9, 2020

it will be either fowler (pleeeeeeease), arozarena (noooo!), o'neill (noooo!), lane thomas (i mean that's fair), or jose martinez (technically can play OF, but would mainly be a DH)

pirates sign 29yo outfielder guillermo heredia, who hit .225/.306/.363 for the rays last year before being non-tendered
haven't really been paying attention but i think this is only the second major-league (so to speak) move the pirates have made this offseason. the other was signing luke maile, a 29yo catcher with a career wRC+ of 48
― mookieproof, Thursday, 9 January 2020 23:13 (four years ago) link
it is indeed Arozarena for Liberatore – and also Jose Martinez; both of whom i expect to go full Austin Meadows next season.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 10 January 2020 00:37 (four years ago) link
i think that's a good trade for both teams. jose martinez has been my favorite player the past couple years. the way he plays OF brought me excruciating pain, it really was like a train wreck. he'll be a great DH and he's also one of the most likable people in the game. arozarena has speed and power. he might take a couple years to hit his stride, but he really is good.
i don't know much about liberatore other than his prospect (i'm talking round 1, not round 29. fuck you derek jeter!) status, his good results in his first season, and that he's comfortable throwing a ball really fast in a clubhouse at a whirling nolan gorman. all of that, plus the fact that the cardinals system is pretty much depleted of plus starting pitchers, makes me really happy with this trade

How many HR did the Twins lose in the off-season? Donaldson could really have a big season if he gets in the middle of a lineup like last year's. Or, yes, he could fall off a cliff.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:57 (four years ago) link
I don’t see that happening tbh. So long as he stays healthy, I think his glove and plate discipline could carry him trough this contract pretty well. I’d expect his home runs to decline as his bat speed goes down with age, but (again) if his injury issues in his later Jays days are behind him he could have a Beltre-esque ending to his career.
