I always figured they would just trade the 3 bullpen free agents. Trading Noot and Donovan were always a long shot. I think the team values them way higher than other teams

Yes this is crazy. This is from the article linked on X:

Phil Maton is expected to be the final trade for the Cardinals. Teams have inquired about Brendan Donovan, Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar to varying degrees, but St. Louis has "not entertained that up to this point" according to a team source. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said twice in July that if the Cardinals sold, it would likely be limited to players on expiring deals — similar to how the organization operated when it last did so in 2023. Ryan Helsley, Steven Matz and Maton are all pending free agents.

Cards need to trade several players they have a log jam between AAA and majors of similar players.

They wait until these players have no value.

They love being middle of the pack nowadays. Zero creativity from the front office. Either fully go all in or fully sell for once. This organization is just so poorly ran.

This is what happens when you don't take calculated risks and play everything in the safe lane. No guts, no glory.

How can they NOT entertain offers for Donny, Bumbles and Noot?

The least Mo can do is listen (re: entertain) to what they might bring.

He can't be gone soon enough. :x

I live in Nashville & am a quasi-Titans fan. The similarities between the management of these two organizations are mind-blowing.

I'm surprised you're shocked. They don't take risks, they curl back in their safety area with their binkies. Hopefully that changes moving forward

A half-measure organization run by half-wits. Makes sense.

This clears up all questions about how much say Bloom has in this team's decision-making right now.

Put a good return on the offer and then let them go. If they get desperate you get it. Not willing to even just list the offer to the desperate..what does that cost lol

Can't risk hurting someone's feelings if it got back to them they were enteraining offers. Don't you have a heart! These are men, not machines!
