Pretty heavy splits so I'm guessing Sogard will get in on the platoon there as noted by Turk.
Unless Hiura is on the move...
I get that it is cool to think about what we could get in return. I just dont see what team will offer enough for him.

More of a hail mary idea but they have a couple of paths:
1. Start Urias in AAA, dump Arcia at some point.
2. Stick with Arcia (or sign a SS/use Sogard there a bit), trade Hiura, Urias at 2B.
The point, though, is that Arcia doesn't seem to make sense right now unless Urias is starting in AAA. Maybe he's even more throwaway than I think (and I have a low value on him at this point) but if Urias is their shortstop then at the very least, Arcia is gone.
They've got all of the spots overloaded is the idea so someone is likely on the move. Maybe all it is is trading Arcia for a bag of baseballs or cutting him around Spring Training...but they have too many everyday players for too little starting spots unless I'm miscalculating that they would keep Arcia as a bench glove or start Urias in AAA.
I wonder if they give it Spring Training, hope Urias's presence lights a fire under Arcia, and then they trade Arcia once he hits .375 in ST. I'd imagine his value is pretty low right now, so hopefully a great ST bumps it up.
