08:44 AM ET 07.30 | With less than two days remaining before the non-waiver trade deadline, the Cardinals have focused on acquiring a shortstop in a market an official with the team once described as thin on options at that position. As part of their search for an upgrade at shortstop, the Cardinals have had ongoing discussions with the Los Angeles Dodgers about switch-hitter Rafael Furcal, a baseball source confirmed to The Post-Dispatch.

Yeah, that is what I thought. They obviously aren't happy with Theriot's defense.

If you like your shortstops over the hill and fragile, Furcal is your guy.

Just what we need........................NOT

What? Doesn't that .520 OPS just scream "the Cardinals missing piece"?

Plus, if the Cardinals take Furcal, they get a free bowl of soup.

It screams but I'm not hearing "Cardinals missing piece". I'd rather they keep Descalso at SS or if they have to, platoon him with Theriot (UGH)

I'm praying to sweet 6 lb 8 oz baby jesus that we don't go for furcal and/or get rid of descalso. He's been money this season, so clutch 7th inning on. Not the biggest Theriot fan but if we got Furcal he'd probably just get hurt within a couple weeks. New cards ownership from a few years ago is cancerous, wish they hadn't forced Jockety out.

the cards should trade for furcal plus the dodgers owner frank Mc!

July 30, 2011  01:13 PM ET

he's hitting .190, doesn't that tell you enough?

either way...anything the Dodgers get for him would be great. No disrespect meant, Furcal's been great these last few years (before this one), and he's been a good addition to the team, but at this point, he's been driven to the ground.
