BREAKING: HELSLEY TO METS!!!

[Quincy Varnish]

Not at all what I was hoping for. Bohm looks ok but he's in A+ ball.

So the most tradeable piece returned some A ball maybees
What the point of this
Salary dump??

Doesn’t seem like you know what a salary dump is.

Doesn’t it?? Please explain it for me would ya

Helsley was making 8.2mil…..Cards won’t be paying 2.706ml…..seems like a pretty good dump to me. Especially when BDW is getting quite a good rep for being a tight (donkey).

That isn’t a salary dump.

A salary dump is motivated by dumping salary.

They traded Helsley to add to the farm system before he goes to free agency.

But if they don’t receive much of anything in return…..TBD…..what’s the motivating factor? One could hypothesize 2+ mil AND easier not to re-sign if hes already gone…..yes dumping salary….

There is no hope for you. Go ahead and call it a kumquat.

Quinc I get it
NA is a dump
Gray would be a dump
Contreras is a dump
But considering this current ownership and to think ole BDW isn’t giddy about not paying 2.706mil for the remainder of season then you aint been paying attention.
2 yrs from now we could be wondering where those 3 guys are that they got for RH because they don’t seem to be on a fast track
So again my question was, whats the point if you can’t get a stud??
If you have so much hope in the 3 prospects
Perhaps have that same hope that this team goes on a 18 game winning streak and makes playoffs…..might need RH

The point is getting a chance at something instead of guaranteed nothing.

I commented to ANOTHER poster on his post.
I thought that was the purpose of a talk forum?
And you of all people mentioning “crying” makes my day!

I ask both you and Quinc
If Cards had extended a QO to Helsley would they receive a draft pick if he signed elsewhere?

Yes I believe that is the stipulation.
What is your point.....assuming you actually have one other than whining???

[Red Bird Classic]

Underwhelming return

They got 3 decent prospects for a 2-month rental. I'm sure they took the best deal that was offered. And the Cardinals can always sign Helsley back in the winter if they want.

[cardstatman]

I'm just going to say, "I told you so" to all those (apparently including the Cards FO) who didn't want to trade Fedde and Helsley during the offseason because they would be just as valuable at the trade deadline as they were during the offseason.

Not anywhere close.

[Quincy Varnish]

The QO will be $20M+ and the Cards would have been idiots to offer it. Helsley would have accepted, and the Cardinals would again look like idiots having an $20M+ closer on a rebuilding team.

Well if they only received back minor league fill, then keeping RH if he accepted QO or receiving draft pick would seem the better way to go.

The Cardinals are philosophically opposed to selling high. DeWitt is an eternal optomist.
