We gave up "cash considerations or a player to be named," contingent, I would guess, on whether Trot sticks with the club and contributes.
He's been in AAA this year, hitting well. He hit .288 in the second half last year, but only .251 for the season.
Hey, with Church and Alou both on the shelf indefintely, giving up nobody for a guy who could fill a role seems like a no-brainer.
And his personality will also be what the team needs more of, according to Wright:
"He's a hard-nosed player... He's a guy who's going to go out there and get dirty. He's a guy that plays with a lot of intensity, and I think that's a good thing both on the field and as a clubhouse guy. He's been on a championship team. He knows what it takes to win and he'll go out there and give you something day in and day out."
The only shame is that he doesn't hit from the right side.
