Ideally, somehow, get Gray, Arenado and Contreras to waive their NTCs. At least list the teams they'd accept a trade to. Like Arenado did. Actually, get him to expand that. Along with moving Helsley, Fedde and Nootbaar. Then build for the future. I wouldn't mind hanging on to Contreras through his contract, however, if Mo could get a very good return for him, Burleson would be fine at 1B for a few years.

Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
Article summary: Sonny Gray had a bad outing, which could be an indicator the Cards should sell.
I’m sure Mo will be enlightened. You might’ve saved our season by bringing this non-sourced ai produced journalistic masterpiece to his attention.

I doubt if Mo-ran reads CT....but a few of his (donkey) kissers do.Shady wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 10:31 am https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/so ... b646&ei=10

Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
Gray, Arenado and Contraras are on the back side of their careers, they might accept a trade to a WS contender in a hope of winning a ring. However, their new team will not be happy with the contracts. No one wants to pay Nado 35 million next year. Chances are any team that takes them would want to move after this season and they could end up on a team much worse than the Cards.
Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
The Cardinals have been "in a pickle"with the Arenado production/salary situation for quite a while. The Gray situation is becoming similar. Contreras isn't quite as expensive and he's doing a good job at 1B. Though he's not an ideal cleanup hitter.bretto12 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 11:12 am Gray, Arenado and Contraras are on the back side of their careers, they might accept a trade to a WS contender in a hope of winning a ring.

Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
Just in case he doesn't hang out here, you should camp out at the stadium and demand to see him. And really commit to it. Refuse to leave until he sees you. This message is so important, it's worth going to jail over it.

Hopefully, Bloom sees what I see as to what's needed.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:11 pm Just in case he doesn't hang out here, you should camp out at the stadium and demand to see him.

Do you actually think the POBO of a major MLB franchise might read this little forum? That’s a goodShady wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 10:31 am https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/so ... b646&ei=10

Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
Definitely. The article should be printed and placed in a handcuffed briefcase and handed to Mo directly in-person. I can't believe this insider info was even cleared for public release.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:11 pm Just in case he doesn't hang out here, you should camp out at the stadium and demand to see him.

Also Mo if you are reading this please check this out


Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
I just read an article saying Contreras would be an "intriguing trade asset for any contender". I agree.

Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
I'm certain that Bloom is out there at this very moment, reading this thread, trying to wrap his head around your idea. I mean, trade Arenado? Did I read that correctly?Shady wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:15 pmHopefully, Bloom sees what I see as to what's needed.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:11 pm Just in case he doesn't hang out here, you should camp out at the stadium and demand to see him.

If they don't track you down and make you Assistant POBO, then I don't know what they're thinking.
Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
It might not hurt considering the Cardinals have not been serious contenders for quite a while.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:56 pmI'm certain that Bloom is out there at this very moment, reading this thread, trying to wrap his head around your idea.

I can see Bloom thinking, "hm, I STILL can't figure out what the hell Girsch does here, (and where is he, anybody seen him?) but this guy can't be any worse."Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:56 pmI'm certain that Bloom is out there at this very moment, reading this thread, trying to wrap his head around your idea.

Re: If Mozeliak checks out Cards Talk he needs to read this
I would guess they have someone monitoring most social media sites to gauge fan perception. Granted it was 20 years ago, but Dave Duncan used to get upset over things posted here. This site had a much bigger share of the thought posting back then.Cranny wrote: ↑20 Jul 2025 12:18 pmDo you actually think the POBO of a major MLB franchise might read this little forum?
