The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
Good morning.
Just a signing away.
Team would trade away Walker, Matz, Mik, and Helmsley and outfield will be Tucker Scott and Burleson.
Infield Willy Donovan Winn Nado. Pages at catcher. Gorman and Herrera at DH.
Staff
Gray
Libby
Pallante
Mcg
Young gun.
Closer- maton or granillo.
That completes year two of reset.

Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
I've been on the sign Kyle Tucker (if the Cubs don't extend him) bandwagon basically since he became a Cub. It makes a lot of sense, but I just don't see ownership going after a top FA like Tucker.

Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
We are in an announced reset. There has to be a reason to reset. Once all assets are in place, they can buy. This should be this off season.
As for never making that big splash, well it shows. We saved all this money for a reason. My thoughts it to spend on two big names. If saving the money for any other reason, wrong move.
Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
Great player, would love to see him on the Cardinals - but with the contract he will get, he is bound for LA or NYC.
Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
How much will the potential work stoppage effect signing FA's to big money this coming offseason?
Can a team insure against that risk reasonably?

Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
We all know and say that. But in order for a team to break the high contract hold that LAD and NY have, they gotta just do it.
And, it’s not like he is a high risk player. Chances are you will get a reasonable return of his service.
Solves right field.
It’s a no brainer in the management world.
Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
I was in the trade for Tucker camp…..no reason why this team can’t have ONE stud in OF

One egg. Sign a top of rotation starter next season. Reset done.

Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
That’s no more than a dream. The Cards will never outbid the big market teams for a FA. Position player or pitcher.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2025 08:09 amWe all know and say that. But in order for a team to break the high contract hold that LAD and NY have, they gotta just do it.

Just yesterday you told a poster he couldn't know the Cards wouldn't make such a move.Cranny wrote: ↑25 Jun 2025 08:12 amThat’s no more than a dream.

Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
Can't beat landing Tucker but Cards don't seem to play bidding wars. I think they'll repurpose some of that saved payroll...but surprised if that much. KT wants the long-term deal that will mostly play out on the wrong side of 30 and some estimates have him getting near Vlad Jr and Soto $$.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2025 07:51 am Good morning.

Has a good athletic build so might age better than other power hitting OFers, but I think Cardinals are commited to developing or trading for the next stud OFer and MAYBE still have a sliver of hope for JW. At least the boys are winning and providing some good entertainment while we wait it out.
I would like to add...I hope I'm wrong and you're dream comes true! Tucker would be awesome.

Re: The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.
That would be nice two. If you signed Tucker, traded for A, we would be a NL front runner.JDW wrote: ↑25 Jun 2025 08:12 amTrade for Alcantara?sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2025 08:10 amOne egg.

That simple. And both can be had by STL. That’s what this new guy Bloom is for. Refresh.
