Sandy to the Cubs

[JohnnyMO]

Not sure the fascination with him. He sucks this year.

You might put a question mark in your title, to make it a little clearer that this isn't breaking news.

Fooled me too! Didn’t realize how much I wanted SA until I thought he went to Cubs lol.

Sorry. My intent was good, delivery sucked.

Clickbait! Haha JK.

Who would be shocked and rendered unconscious if the dynamic duo of MO/Bloom and Wallet pull off a couple deals to launch team into playoff legitimacy??

[Cusecards]

Based on his age(only 29) and past accomplishments I could certainly see where Alcantara could be enticing.
And considering that the rotation is in a state of flux/retooling as we pass from 2025 to 2026 he certainly bears consideration.
Obviously the outlay cost is the kicker.
The Cards do have some position player depth to deal from.
You have Gray and Libby.
Pallante back end or BP?
McGreevy pretty much a definite.
I could see where Alcantara could work.
If anyone should know him it’s the Cards!

Sandy A

16 GS
6.98 ERA
1.48 WHiP

last 5 GS
4.34 ERA
1.14 WHiP

When this first came up I had little interest but (sans his last start) it looks like he's coming around.

But at what cost?

Would they take J. Walker straight up?

[vegascardsfan5890]

Acquiring a guy with an ERA of almost 7 does nothing, if anything it makes the team worse

[hugeCardfan]

Again guys sorry. Was in yard hot and sweaty so I did a quick read, then write. Wasn’t paying attention.

I've done that quite a bit. Always in a hurry. Forcing myself to slow down is always a chore

Takes nothing to do it right. I just had my head up my fourth point of contact.

A-bone sergeant!

Clearly the Cards didn't know him well enough. They traded him.

I know. Misleading. Should have clarified. Sorry men.

No worries, Dog. I just figured you had gotten into the flower early today.

Marlins are looking more for top prospects who AREN’T in the process of washing out. I read somewhere (don’t have a link) that they’d start with Cade Horton and want to add something good on top of that. For the Cards, think Quinn Matthews and maybe a Saggese or Davis or even JJ. That’s not going to happen, methinks. I’m thinking, too, that Sandy isn’t really that much of a risk (meaning, resumes being an ace by next year if not this). That’s what a #1 starter in a good rotation ought to cost.

[JDW]

Graceffo, Walker and Saggese for Alcantara and prospect/s to balance it out as needed.
Marlins give Graceffo runway as a SP. If it works out, we trade for Graceffo when he gets too expensive for the Marlins in a few years, lol.

BD….I was referring to MO sitting on his favorite finger

Ha- I still qualified. Thankful the board is kind.

What if Cubs make a run here- danger Will Robinson.
