Who is this guy?
Ask the Cardinals. They let him go
Yeah him and Voit! Although, I did not see either one of them becoming as good as they are. And let’s pump the brakes on Randy A. Mark Lemke terrorized either the Twins or the Blue Jay in the post season.....or maybe both I can’t remember. He certainly wasn’t the next coming.
It wasn't just the PS though, Arozerana had a hot September. I don't think we are looking at elite talent here, but this is a guy who can hit .280-.300 while going 20/15
Also here is a list of players the Cardinals let go to early in recent trades.
Randy Arozerana
Tommy Pham
Luke Voit
Sandy Alcantara
Zac Gallen
Marco GonzalezFeel like crying yet? Because I sure do.
I don't. It makes me happy.

The only one I miss would be Pham, but he's continued to have trouble staying healthy. Voit did most of his damage at Yankee stadium which is much more hitter friendly. He added zero defensive value which is part of the benefit of trading for Goldy.
Arozarena was the only young OF we had with any real trade value. Bader bombed, O'neill didn't look great in limited MLB action, and Lane Thomas got hurt. We needed a LHP, Liberatore fits the bill and was a high ranking prospect. Got to give a little to get a little.
The only one you miss? I know pitching isn't exactly a need for the Cardinals, but are you saying you'd take 2018 and 2019 Ozuna over a rotation that would be Jack Flaherty / Zac Gallen / Sandy Alcantara / Adam Wainwright / and either Kim/Cmart or someone similar
Sure if you want to apply hindsight, but remember what we were trading for at the time. Look at 2017 Ozuña stats and tell me you weren't okay with that trade.
Look what Ozuña is doing now since he left. He's actually healthy for a change which makes a difference.
There wasn't going to be opportunities for Alcantara and Gallen when you had guys like Reyes, Hudson, Gomber, Flaherty, etc. They weren't killed making that Ozuña trade by any means, same with the Goldy trade or the Pham deal.
