By all accounts from EVERYONE was that Miami was unsure if they were going to trade Yelich. If they waited till Miami makes up their mind, they lose Ozuna. "A little more?" It would have took adding Flaherty to the package. Thats not "a little more" talent.

What was with Mo trashing Ozuna? Calling him out publicly? If he is not doing everything he can to get better, then why would any team want to give him a big contract next off season?
I certainty don't want a player that is not giving 100% when they are on the verge of getting generational changing money. What are they going to do when they get paid? Hopefully O'neill will be ready to be an everyday player in 2020.

They could have gotten it done by adding Kelly or Bader and Weaver to Alcantara, IMO. Re: don’t ask/don’t know on Chapman, if you do ask it needs to be a much stronger offer than offering them a less valuable, tremendously more expensive player with injury concerns and a couple of roster fillers.

ocity's boy might be on trade market as well - Paul Goldschmidt.
I would venture the Cardinals sign Donaldson though. |

Same issue with Donaldson. Older player wanting to be paid top $ in their late 30's.

You probably forgot more about baseball this week than I know total. But, You cant just say throw in Bader and the deal is done when these national writers with good track records on the information that they post say Yelchich wasn't available and when he was that it would have taken Flaherty.

Chapman is probably top-5 most valuable commodity in all of MLB, so obv that trade has less than 0% chance of happening. That said, the Cards really have no excuse not to spend some big coin this offseason. If they don't get a premium player their management is full of shit |

BRC, here’s the deal with trading Flaherty or any pitcher. Who cares? This organization. Can draft and develop pitchers. We’ve seen that.
They can’t do it with bats. |

No WS for you, Braun. Eat shit and die.

There is a huge talent gap between Flaherty and the rest of the up and coming pitchers. You can win 85 games with average pitchers if you have a respectable offense. But, when you get to the playoffs and expect to win a series, you cant do that with #3/#4 pitchers.
