Your new first baseman, Ivan Herrera!
Heard this today:
Cardinals 1B/OF Alec Burleson is one of the most popular controllable bats on the trade market. @MLBNetwork
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) August 3, 2026
Bloom is certainly leaving things until the last second. Hopefully with certain names off the board he can maximize the returns he gets.
Looks like a lot of competition for May.
Clay Holmes, Robbie Ray, Brady Singer, maybe Mize the primary SP rentals still on the board, with the Brewers, Phillies, Braves, Red Sox among possible buyers. It's a buyers' market with the SP.

The Brewers are pursuing Clay Holmes according to a source. The Mets are expected to deal him by 6pm ET. @Joelsherman1 first mentioned Milwaukee's interest.

Wow. What a way for it to unfold for this young man. Lives are changed in trades.

Padres are looking for a lefty bat. Burleson and Nootbar from Cards are among many potential targets
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 3, 2026
If it comes down between Burleson or Nootbaar I sure hope and pray it’s Nudie Bar that leaves and not Burleson.

Rosenthal reporting Dustin May and JoJo Romero to the Brewers.
What the heck? Why are we trading with the Brewers?
Here it is. Wow! The Cubs and Brewers are in a real arms race.

Who says you can’t trade within your division?
I applaud Bloom for sticking it to the Cubs by helping the Crew. Ha!
Marilyn asked:
Why are we trading with the Brewers?
It would be nice if the Cards and Brewers were equals, but they are not. By the time the Cards are competitive with the Brewers, both May and Romero will be ex-Brewers. Maybe one or more of the prospects the Cards will receive becomes a true difference-maker.
It’s not like either couldn’t trade with another team – and they probably would. I am ok with it (not having seen what StL gets in return). The Brewers have a good farm system so I am hopeful the take is beneficial to the Cardinals.
I despise both the Cubs and the Brewers equally, so one or the other is just as bad.
It is not that it’s within the Division, I don’t mind trading with the Pirates or the Reds. I do not want to help the Brewers in any way at all. Ever.
Speaking of the Cubs.
The Chicago Cubs are acquiring left-hander Braxton Garrett in a trade with the Miami Marlins, sources tell ESPN.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 3, 2026
Sources tell me that Angels starter Reid Detmers has NOT been traded to the Cubs despite a report to the contrary.
— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) August 3, 2026
Curious what others think. I don’t consider the Brewers equal to the Cubs in dislike level. I respect what the Brewers have accomplished and how they’ve done it.
I don’t see how it is physically possible to detest a team as much as the Cubs.
As Brian said, the player or players we get back in return will be here a lot longer than May or Jo Jo will be in Milwaukee. If May and Jo Jo help the Crew fend off the Cubs for the NLC title that is fine with me since we know we aren’t winning it anyway.
