Come on, Burley is a JAG. A steaky hitter for a month and then vanishes. A mediocre OFer at best. Slow on the bases. He may end up as a half decent first baseman somewhere, but he is what he is as a hitter. He, like Noot, are what they are. Other teams know that too. A #2 pitcher with control for a JAG? Please return to reality....Shady wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 15:27 pmCould the Cardinals, possibly, get a fairly young, cost controlled #2 starting pitcher for Burleson? If the Cardinals would make that trade trade for Burleson at the trade deadline, who would be a productive replacement for him in the lineup? Are Gorman and Walker ready to be productive hitters at #3 or #4 in the lineup?

If you want return them Hels and Donny are your most attractive pieces.
Donny is a great piece to have, but he is not a player who’ll be a pillar piece on a contending team. He is a great complimentary piece on a contending team.

You could package Helsley, Maton and Romero as a package to fill out a teams bully.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 14:01 pm Remember that over the next few weeks and you'll appear more logical.

Hurdy is the best trade chip on the roster.
Sell!

Not sure what Romeros contract is.
You still have orielly, king, Leahy, Svanson
Fill from the minors too.

romero has another yr on his contract. I believe Helsley will be dealt, so trading Maton leaves ya no one to close.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 09:46 amYou realize you could try to sign Maton and Helsley in the off-season?moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 09:42 amwho the hell is gonna be in OUR bp in 26?? yeeeshscoutyjones2 wrote: ↑27 Jul 2025 09:41 amYou could package Helsley, Maton and Romero as a package to fill out a teams bully.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 14:01 pm Remember that over the next few weeks and you'll appear more logical.

I also believe King is a mop up guy, and there's really no one in the minors thats been good given a chance.
these are things I realize
Re: You have to give to get
Well, you could call up JJW and put him at 2B and move Donovan to LF.Shady wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 15:27 pmCould the Cardinals, possibly, get a fairly young, cost controlled #2 starting pitcher for Burleson?

Maybe Burly could land a decent SP piece, I'm not sure.
