The Cardinals cut Jhonny Peralta and replaced their third base coach:
”This is all a direct result of how we’ve been playing,” third baseman Jedd Gyorko said. ”We’ve got to play better. If we’re 10 games over .500 and in first place, these changes aren’t going to happen. We’re not where we want to be but we know we can turn it around.”
The 35-year-old Peralta, in the final year of his contract, was designated for assignment. He was batting .204 with no RBIs or extra-base hits in 54 at-bats this season.
Peralta hit a bit better in his early 30s than he did in his prime, but age finally caught up with him. Replacing the third base coach is telling the players the manager is next.
