Any interest in Profar or Harvey?

Wouldn't mind trying to nurse Harvey back into a Cy Young level pitcher. Only 28. Has major flaw is his fastball velocity.

Both don't spark much excitement but I like Profar as an upgrade over Garcia utility wise. Could light Wong's fire too. Wouldn't hurt to have a backup at SS if Dejong has a Diaz-esque collapse.

Cardinals want Ozuna

Two time all-star in his prime with 4.8 fWAR last year.

3 years of control. Get it done Girsch.

Harvey has nothing left. Tommy John Surgery and then Thoracic outlet syndrome. Shaping up to end up like Chris Carpenter just 10 years earlier in his career. He's never going to be even 70% of what he was.

Profar similarly has been decimated by injuries. I don't think there is anything exciting left with him. He is in his arbitration and likely out of options (thats a guess) and couldn't even earn a September call up on the Rangers last year. I think he is a fringe MLBer at best.
