Jnevel, couldn’t agree with your post more. He will have to go on the 40 this offseason or likely be taken.
C27, I’m still hoping for a LFer with ONLY one of Church or VSII in the organization/on the roster.
And why the heck is Torres not on the 26 over some of the guys now? He needs his chance, Fermin can be traded to the Idaho baseball league for some French fries sent to everyone reading this!
Could they have just had the DSL lineup for today vs this one?
Church, Scott, Pages and Fermin are not…..
It sure would be nice if the Cardinals had a guy in AAA that is already on the 40 Man roster who has in OBP over .500 to come play LF vs Chuch/Scott/Fermin…..
Just a thought
We need a LF…. Any bad contracts the Cards could take on? One of Vic and Scott need to be moved March 25 or so.
Torres for MVP and OBP leader!
I think O’Brien’s value is exactly why the trade him for a barge and then some. Relievers are so volatile that they need to cash in while they can, see Helsley, Ryan.
Pages is just redundant when Crooks is fully ready. Herrera needs a position other than C once a week. if you can catch a 100 mph fastball you can catch one in the OF….
Hence sure got his timeline pushed back
Gotcha GScott. After the trade deadline, I’d highly doubt Jojo, O’Brien, May, Noot (if healthy), Pages and both of Church and VS are still on the team.
Cards need a LF to be watchable in 26 and 2027 and it’s beyond sad out there now. Just give us a glimmer of hope Chaim….
One reason to extend him that everyone is leaving out….
The Cards payroll could be less than 85M on the year. SPREAD IT OUT!! By 2029 when they don’t suck, they will need “dry powder” to use.
8yr/$110m with an option year, and spread it out to save the powder!
What he hopefully gets:
26-28 – 3M
29-31 – 50m
32-33 -60m
Option year -30mSpread the $110m over 8 – $30m paid now to his checking account, as a signing bonus then $10m over the next 8 years.
I’d take that all day and with May, Jojo, O’Brien, Noot?? traded at 1/3 of their salary moved it is beyond realistic to “create long term value/opportunities”.
Is Doyle putting on his Caterpillar hat and living in Pekin soon? AA is a lot for a “new to pro ball” guy.
Pozo for MVP?
Serious note, the Cards need a FT left fielder. Velasquez seems to be out of the picture now, Torres and his .500+ OBP would be better than Ferminting and Sunday School(Church for the slow out there).
Respectfully, I feel the exact opposite as Willie. If you don’t score you don’t win….
Winn, VS and Church would be great, if they had the ability to hit a baseball.
I do not support trading Herrera or Burly, even in this rebuild(it is folks, not a retool) you have to have a couple of anchors.
That being said, Herrera needs to accept being the LF or 1B! He can’t clog up the DH spot for 4 years. I mentioned this yesterday, but Baez will be the CF at some point in 2027 and they will still need a LF. Heck, put Burly out there and Herrera at first!
Pallante ballooned his ERA up so much yesterday, which essentially ruined any trade value he possibly could have had. After his true colors coming out, all the more reason to get Jojo traded NOW!
Just look at Fitts and my poor good ol buddy Packy over the weekend….. health is not a given.
A decently fair offer for the following, take it!
– Jojo -Now
– Pages -Now
– Fermin -Now
– May -after a good month, 4th of July maybe
– Noot – At deadline and health provenCrooks and Torres >>>> Pages and Fermin
Agree C27, especially at 13, BPA that is a 50H/60P guy that is either an OF or a “SS” that’s likely to move to 3B. There should be several options available at that spot.
If Walker keeps it up, a LF is signed/traded for is Baez going to be the longer term CF? I say yes for several years. Scott and Church should both be toward the top of the highly tradeable list.
Check your phones at 12:01am!!!
Lots of Cards moves.
-Pages traded for international money
-Fermin traded for stale 2020 cracker jacks.
-Crooks called up
-Torres called up (BEYOND way over due)I went to the Frozen Confines, aka, Wrigley yesterday. It was not 50 degrees out or close to it btw.
Konnor Griffin is an absolute beast! 19 going on 30 is more like it. Smooth swing and seemed fine fielding. Wish he was in the AL! I love all baseball games, but it was quite boring other than paying attention to him.
On the flip side….. The Cards need to significantly front load and lock up JJ, Ivan and Burley…..and heck, maybe even start the back and forth on something for Joshua Baez? More room in 2028-32.
$99M on the books, per COTs in 2026, including the $ sent to BOS and AZ. If they front load those deals, plus Jojo, Noot, May being moved, they might end up at roughly $90 on the year.
I’d love him too, if the Cards can give Walker all that time, it’s a great match.
VS and Church are very redundant. I’m in huge favor of Baez in CF in 2027…
When Dobbins has been built up, would Fitts or Dobbins be called up 1st?
I’d assume the SP call up order is:
1A/1B : Fitts and Dobbins
3: Mathews
4: MautzFitts/Dobbins = $1.6M
Mikolas/Feddee = $26+MFirst option is better and cheaper, now win the draft please Bloom!
Bling, I’d bet ya a wooden nickel they have Peete changing several things currently which isn’t helping “yet”. Fingers crossed he has a Joshua Baez(2025) 2nd half.
Tonight’s 3rd….
I’ve read two articles regarding the Orioles willing to trade Coby Mayo and Keaton Hjersted. Mayo might still be worth a very pretty penny and is a 1B or 3B only guy. Cards need LF help the next several years.
What would it take for Hjersted (on DL currently) Pallante and Church?
Tonight’s 2nd trade idea….
Fermin for a lotto ticket to any team that needs a utility guy. Call up .400+OBP Torres who Oli could at least let bat!
Blue Jays trade idea with Kirk out 6+ weeks and their dire need of a LHRP…..
BJ’s get Pages and Jojo
Cards get to call up Crooks to hit 6-8 hole.
Cards get J. King (non top 100 but their #4) from Blue Jays and another lotto ticket piece.Crooks needs to be in the lineup and Jojo needs moved while he has a 0.00 ERA.
