Who Will Replace Peralta?

Good afternoon,
As we await today's game against the Washington Nationals, I received an update that the Cardinals may look into acquiring Nick Ahmed of the Arizona Diamondbacks to replace Jhonny Peralta as he recovers from a torn ligament in his thumb. This really struck my attention. Is it really necessary to trade a prospects or even a utility man for a mediocre short stop just for a couple months? No. The Cardinals acquired Jedd Gyorko in the off season, to bring depth for the Cardinals infield, especially at short. Also, the Cards have Aledmys Diaz, who has failed to disappoint this spring. There really isn't a need to send away in-house options for a short-term issue. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading! Give me a follow on Twitter! @STLCards18
