Nolan Gorman will be the primary DH and Brandon Crawford will be the primary bench player for the infield. Plus Carpenter hasn't hit well this Spring with just 2 hits in 23 at-bats (25 plate appearances). Its unknown if Carpenter will clear waivers, but if he does expect the Cardinals to just grant him an outright release, versus trying to find a trade partner, as the market is pretty scarce for him at the moment.

Do the right thing...bring Tink north with you.
