I suspect the Cardinals will refuse to sell if they are within 5 games of the wildcard, which means this trade deadline will be a bummer for those hoping the Cardinals inject talent into the farm system to better compete in 2026 & beyond.
Again you assume we will get much talent in return for what we have available to sell. It’s not like the fruits of the 2023 sell off have done much for us to compete in 2024 and beyond. I don’t think that is an indication of our ability to evaluate Talent at all. More like take it or leave it.
