Hope Mo is seriously looking for a good return for Helsley.

[Talkin' Baseball]

The trade deadline is two weeks from today. If the Cardinals are still barely hanging on, Mo needs to hope at least one team feels Helsley is still a dominant closer.

so you think a team will ignore how he's pitching this season?

Sure

Many teams will want him. It will become a matter of price.

This might be rather obvious. But I like an idea a heard on the radio. Shop Helsley for a quality return. Not for quantity. Tell every team that is interested in Helsley, we're looking for the top prospect we can get. Then see what the offers are.

This should be true for anyone we look to trade at the deadline.

The point is, quality over quantity.

I've been seeing a lot of speculation as to the Red Sox and Dodgers as being a suitors for Helsley. They both have some intriguing prospects. Any of them being blocked?

Why keep Helsley unless they are in the thick of things in the division race at the deadline? Why take the chance on a one game play off-type gamble. Try to get a quality return for him before his contract runs out.
