If I’m the Cardinals front office, I add him. I strongly considering taking on two years of Patrick Corbin for $50 ($10M of his 2024 salary is deferred) to lessen my prospect pay out. And I just write the check. They could afford it, easily.

thanks to Flores we have more talent in the pipeline than we have had in years.
I’ve read many articles on Walker that say his ceiling is an MVP and if he stays healthy and hungry HOF. Obviously Soto is way above Walkers potential talent. He has proven he is the real deal. So does Bader, O’Neill and another same level prospect get er done or is the Mets players just superior to ours?

I don’t see the tightwad Dewitt and the incompetent Mo take on salary instead of trading more talent. Even though they got $50 million from the Rockies to pay Arenado.
If taking on money becomes crucial to the deal, the Dodgers and other cash rich teams start to get involved and we have no chance.
