The Pirates are gonna grind Skenes into dust.

No way do I trust Mo to make any trades. We could have had Soto for Dylan Carlson but Mo thought that was insane. **** making a trade. He’ll just **** up shit more.

This thread is as dead as the season

Chip said just a bit ago its been an entertaining series LMAO

If you're a Nats fan, yeah.

Looks like Dewallet is closed for the foreseeable future.

Sell the team you greedy old codger.

Harper wanted here

Same old Dewitt’s. We are broke.

With the trade deadline almost here, the #STLCards front office may be handcuffed due to management

Per John Denton, Cardinals management has let the front office know that the club is ‘not positioned to take on significant salary in the coming years via trade.’

Could well be a trial balloon to see what kind of pushback they get from the fans.

Or an undersell and overperform thing.

Never trust anything that comes from this front office. It’s all PR bullshit. They’re just pathological liars.

It’s like having politicians run your baseball team. And they wonder why the fans don’t give a shit.

This would be a Cardinals type move.

If they insist on wasting a GG caliber SS by playing him in CF (while hammering a DH into 2b) then they may as well trade him.

Edman's about half as valuable here as he would be in another organization since we're wasting his defensive value. If they can flip him for an asset they'll actually use - sure, why not?

Though I think we all know that they should be selling. Its an insane seller's market, the Cardinals continue to hover around .500 with no real path towards genuine post-season relevance (they don't have any arms to bring up in September that could steal them a playoff game or two) and they have assets like Helsley that will return some genuine prospect capital.

But the Cardinals, as is their custom, will do the stupid thing. Whatever options are available to them, they'll take the dumbest one.

Do nothing or acquire a random average reliever?

Bye bye, Edman.

I'm seeing reports the Cards got Fedde and also acquired Pham? Wild if true.

Edman to the Dodgers. Jesus I bet he becomes an all star.
