Dodgers Acquire Jedd Gyorko

By Jeff Todd | July 31, 2019 at 3:33pm CDT

3:33pm: Southpaw Tony Cingrani is heading to St. Louis, likely for salary relief (as he’s out for the year), along with righty Jeffry Abreu. The Dodgers also obtain international spending capacity and cash considerations in unannounced amounts.

2:15pm: The Dodgers have struck a deal to add infielder Jedd Gyorko from the Cardinals, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). The return isn’t yet known.

Gyorko, 30, is playing on a $13MM salary this year ($5MM of which is still property of the Padres) and comes with a $13MM option ($1MM buyout) for next season. It’s not clear whether the Dodgers will be stepping into the full obligation.

Though he’s currently on the injured list, Gyorko is expected back in relatively short order. He’s on the 60-day injured list at present, which means the Dodgers don’t have to open a 40-man roster spot for him.

The Dodgers certainly have a wide array of players that fit Gyorko’s general description as a multi-positional player with a nice track record at the plate. But several of those players are currently dealing with injury issues, so the L.A. brass obviously decided to snag another.

Gyorko will be looking for a bounce back when he arrives with his new team. He hasn’t seen much action this year but has struggled when he has been available. But he was a consistent hitter over the prior three seasons in St. Louis, carrying a cumulative .259/.331/.463 batting line with 61 total long balls.

        This was basically a fücking salary dump by Mo, assuming the Dodgers are taking most of Gyorko’s salary, says this Cards fan. I’m not typical, Clepto, and neither is Francy.

        Instead, we get a “sore-armed” Cingrani who hasn’t been good, except a brief stretch in 2017, for half a decade, and who will be a FA himself, and a high-rookie ball prospect who probably never will wear an MLB uniform.

        Nice.

          I can read. I can also think for myself. The Dodgers have one of the DEEPEST teams in baseball. They don’t need Gyorko. He’s there for nothing else other than to possibly fill in if someone gets injured. So once again, this made no sense. Dodgers needed bullpen help. Jansen is vulnerable.

          Mozeliak will be Mozeliak at the trade deadline. A lot of talk and no do. With plenty of excuses immediately afterwards. Many more excuses from now until the free agent season begins. Same Song—-5th verse.

        Mozeliak is always a day late and a dollar short. I grew tired of trying to defend Mozeliak’s logic when it comes to upgrading the Cardinals last year. He’s not going to done anything dramatic to improve this team this year. That’s grown to be his thoughts at trade deadlines.

          Can you blame Mo? I’m a Cubs fan and there isn’t a trade that either team (throw Crew in there too) can make to truly make them a WS contender. The Central is playing for the Central and
          then grabbing a seat on the couch to watch the big boys play.

        • Polymath

          4 years ago

          ChiWin is correct.

          When the Yankees offered Gleybar Torres a couple of years ago for Gyorko, they should have taken it.

        • Bunselpower

          4 years ago

          Yeah, it’s easy to just scream at the sky, but what was there? The Cubs got a guy that can hit but gives up about as many runs in the field, but nobody was really available this time around. We (the Cards) didn’t need middling bullpen arms and we didn’t need corner outfielders. Well, not exactly a good deadline for that. This is when you just have to trust your system, look at Ozuna as a deadline acquisition, and move on.

          It will be a disaster when Carpenter comes back. Munoz and Edmon have sparked this current team. When Carpenter comes back, Mozeliak will tell Shildt to play him. When Ozuna comes back, they have got to have his bat!! Then the Spark plugs that got the Cards to first place, will have to sit. Carpenter was once that Spark Plug!! He’s had too many lifetime injuries since he was an All-Star 10 years ago. He needs to retire Gracefully and continue to be a past Cardinal icon.

          That’s great. He’s played a total of 269 games at 3B. Problem is his bat fits at 2B, not 3B. And at 2B, he’s not good. Therefore, he’s always going to be a part time starter, which he might not even get to do in LA.

    The one weakness the Dodgers have in their lineup is matching up against lefties. Gyorko is a good bat against lefties. If they match up with the Cubs again in the NLCS, this will help against their 3 lefty starters. I doubt they gave up much for him. Nice depth deal.

    Assuming the return is minimal… this isn’t a bad low risk trade for the Dodgers. If he comes back healthy and productive then they get a solid bat-first RH option to mix and match and utilize as a pinch hitter. If not, no harm no foul!

        How do you know? Odds for Giants making the post are better than LA winning the WS. Check the Vegas line. Giants are a long shot, and as a Giants fan who has celebrated 3 WS titles since 2010, I’m okay with that. I see a bright future with Zaidi at the helm. Meanwhile the clock is ticking in LA. Kershaw isnt what he used to be, Kenley is barely above league average for a closer…. Bellinger is great, and will be for the foreseeable future, so you can lean on his personal accomplishments as you used to with Kersh.

    I hear a lot about how the 1st place teams didn’t chase anyone. I’m sure our Boo Birds will chime in soon. But we heard the asking price for Ray from the Diamondbacks: Frazier plus 3 prospects. Vasquez from Pittsburgh: Gavin Lux probably plus others. Bumgarner, Smith, Syndergaard, all basically pulled off the market. There were few rentals, and the non-rentals were insanely high priced. This just seems like there was nothing available.

      Redbirds should’ve tried to get Greinke in the offseason and again now, but to be fair they certainly had extensive talks with Arizona around the Goldy deal and maybe talks about Greinke were a part of that. I don’t know if Greinke would’ve OK’d a deal to St. Louis. For all I know they had something set up and he nixed it.

      If the only reason they didn’t get Greinke was money, it’s unforgivable. But who knows if that’s the case. Other than that I agree – I don’t know that anyone else was moved that the Cards “missed” on. Other than maybe Stroman, who the whole league missed on.

        The Cardinals were on his no trade list. Very seriously doubt that he would have OK’d a trade there, which is why he probably flew under the radar this time around. And, don’t forget that while the Cardinals have a decent system, they do not have the depth they used to, in part due to flame outs and in larger part due to graduation.

        Shortsighted people think movement for movement’s sake is progress. It isn’t. Sometimes the best move is the one you don’t make. Or in this case, can’t make.

          I’m pretty sure I recall reading that Greinke publicly stated that he would never play for the Cardinals. I don’t think he likes them very much after his time in Milwaukee.

          I don’t remember that but I know he was happy in Arizona and wasn’t all that interested in going to STL (don’t know about hating them).

          STL was on Greinke’s list of teams on his NTC

      Tony Cingrani and Jeffrey abreu. Cards sent international money and cash with Gyorko

    Great job Friedman. Without a pen, LA wins weak division, but once again will lose in the playoffs. Take a lesson from Astros.’ GM.

    Friedman is pathetic. Couldn’t even acquire one ok reliever?

    Sigh…fingers crossed that the Dodgers did something to get better. Gyorko hitting a solid .196 AND still on the IR. Impressive move guys. And the new pitcher…Kolarek?? Dodgers continue to hold on to up-and-coming players while wasting the success of the current players. The FO will feed us the line that “we believe we’re good enough to win now with what we have” Their hindsight isn’t very good or they have severe short-term memory issues.

      You’re the best team in baseball with a 161 run differential. 15 games ahead of SF.

      Imagine being in a tight 3+ team division race and realizing your biggest moves were claiming a couple rejects from a non-contender with ERA’s of 7+ and 5+ and a couple more rejects to follow. One of which is hurt.

      edit: the one cat is a struggling 19 year old. i’d think he’d have some upside.. guessing he’s a flamethrower. Mo likes them.

    Cards landed on Cingrani for LHP support. Talk about a statement.

    Someone tell Moz he’s injured until 2020.

    Gyorko is Andy Friedman’s middle name.

    I can’t believe this. Spoonfed this buying at the trade deadline bull and all they do is trade an injured player for another injured player and a no name minor leaguer. This is absolutely ridiculous. And all the Cubs did was add a couple decent bats, one really good, and a reliever with shutdown history. Actions speak louder then words, and the front office of the Cardinals kept saying 2019 mattered, blah, blah, blah. And then they do this to the fans. Absolutely ridiculous.

      I’d like to place a missing persons report for Mike Girsch.

      Anybody see him lately?

        I saw Girsch laying on the shoulder of I-44 near Six Flags. Tried to cross the highway. He saw headlights and froze.

    He wasn’t playing so who cares. The real issue is why was Carpenter not traded off a year or two ago and why extend him. I didn’t hate the extension but think they should quit worrying about the fans or whatever makes them make stupid moves and do what’s best for the team over several years.

    Unfortunately…We were right!!! This was the BIG MOZELIAK MOVE of the Trading Deadlines.

    Just was Listening to MLB Radio. The Host are former Professional Baseball General Managers. The Host were hammering the Cardinals ( John Mozeliak), for doing absolutely nothing at the trading deadline to help their club. Their basis was that since the injury to Matt Carpenter, a better offense and defensive club has evolved which has vaulted the Cards into 1st Place in the NL Central. They stated that it may be good that they stood pat. Reasoning was the Cardinals haven’t been able to actually evaluate their own players by the observation of who they have traded away for basically nothing with the exception of reliever Gallego. They listed ….Voit, Pham, Piscoty, Mercado, Grichuk, & Big City etc. All of these players have become impact players with other teams and could easily been the Cardinals starting outfield and first basemen, for far less money spent, Had it not been for John Mozeliak evaluations. The Host stated Mozeliak over valued his prospects. Even though Ozuna has worked out well for the Cardinals, Mozeliak could have had Yelich for the prospects Miami wanted. Also, the Host pointed the Brett Cecil, Gregerson, Holland, Leake, and other acquisitions Mozeliak has made for big money and extended years. Bottom line —— their current opinion of John Mozeliak as a president of the Cardinals baseball operations has become very questionable.
