We are approaching the final stretch of the season, and it's time to make the move to cut the disappointing player and either take a chance on a top prospect or add a player heating up.

Ferrer has racked up three saves over his last three appearances and hasn't allowed a run since August 3. Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar continues to rake in Triple-A and has logged a hit in five of his last six games.
