12:12pm: Rosenthal reports that the Cardinals are prioritizing outfield depth
in their trade talks, and the two sides have not discussed shortstop Erick
Aybar or the Cardinals' top young pitchers. The two sides are still in the
"discussion phase," according to Rosenthal (Twitter links).
The Angels do have quite a bit of outfield depth, and names like Peter
Bourjos, J.B. Shuck and Kole Calhoun could all make sense for the Cardinals.
Of course, Mike Trout is unavailable.
9:43am: The Angels and Cardinals have had discussions about a trade that
would send David Freese to the Angels, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX
Sports (Twitter link).
The Angels have been primarily focused on acquiring pitching this offseason,
but they have a need at third base as well after trading Alberto Callaspo to
the A's this July. Of course, it's possible that Anaheim GM Jerry Dipoto
could try to convince the Cardinals to part with some of their young arms in
the deal as well, though that's just my own speculation at this point.
紅雀想增加外野深度，但目前討論中沒包括Erick Aybar以及紅雀的頂級新秀投手
仍然還在討論階段
天使有很足夠的外野深度， Peter Bourjos, J.B. Shuck, Kole Calhoun
都是有機會的交易人選
雖然天使目前仍然以增加投手深度為主，但七月交易Alberto Callaspo後
需要一個三壘手
