The Cardinals got Tony Cingrani in the Gyorko deal.

Nice lefthanded reliever who can miss bats....

.....and is out for the rest of the season with a torn labrum.

Great !@#$ing deadline, Moe. "All-in for 2019" indeed.

Ass.

And who is a free agent at the end of the year. This is just a salary dump. We also gave them international slot money because why invest in the future.

We're not going to spend it on anyone worth a shit anyway.

Have you seen the guys they sign in those international periods now? A bunch of bottom of the barrel scrap because they barely bother to invest in international scouting now.

This team's just the worst kind of indifferent.

Honestly aside from a blockbuster deal for Thor or something like that there was no need to do jack shit anyway because this team isn't going anywhere this season.

Man the Cardinals are pathetic.

Brewers too.

I mean add Wheeler, Stroman, or someone decent and I as a Cubs fan would be nervous.

But you let the Cubs dink around and get guys like Kemp and Castellanos (who I love) and a couple arms, and you make Theo look smarter than he is.

I know Cards fans who seem to think the Cardinals will be in and attempt to win the Gerrit Cole sweepstakes.

For real.

So they supposedly engaged about Wheeler but wouldn't part with......O'neil or Bader.



Woof.

Archer. LMAOLMAOLMAO

The Cubs are at least trying. Sadly, they'll end up winning the division. They won't do shit other than that, but our purgatory of staring up at them in the standings will continue. :shake:

Ouch :shake:

:facepalm:

Wheeler for Bader straight up and you said no?

Wheeler is dealing with shoulder fatigue. Even though Bader is only ever going to be a defensive replacement, a few years of that is worth more than 10 starts from a diminished Wheeler.

The Gyorko deal is laughably stupid. I have no idea what the point of acquiring Cingrani was. If the Dodgers need help with tax issues, why aren't they giving you bonus money? I legitimately wonder if Mo thought he was healthy.

1 for their last 32 with RISP. How is that possible.

no one here thinks Wheeler is a plan B Thor. But, the comment from Mo was we may need Bader as a starter when Ozuna leaves. Bader can’t hit anything but a fastball. He should never be a starter until he learns to hit breaking balls.
