Why are you guy/gals suprised?
Every year since the departure of the old regime, we have done this. Some years we talk a big game leading up to the deadline, then nothing happens. Some years we talk down about how we can't unload players, then nothing happens. When we are in a position to buy, we go halfway. When we are in a position to sell, we go halfway. We are in the mushy middle. Get used to it. MO=Bloom w/ DeWitt's in charge. They are poor and can't afford to pay tier one player's tier one salaries.

Hey dork, I'm not the one complaining. It's all you. I don't really follow baseball all that much anymore. It's just funny how everyone expects something different each year.

Not at all surprised. More concerned that we are in for a long run of turning into a team run like the Pirates.Cardsfan1586 wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 16:15 pm Every year since the departure of the old regime, we have done this.

Re: Why are you guy/gals suprised?
Ok, you have an excuse. You dont follow baseball any more. Its not as though the 25 Cardinals have a roster that teams are going to be beating doors down to aquire. Yet, so many fans upset that the Cardinals didn't aquire 2 or 3 #1 prospects today. I wanted Nado traded, but what it really boils down to is they were lucky they were able to make the trades they made.Cardsfan1586 wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 16:26 pm Hey dork, I'm not the one complaining.

Its kind of like the person who brings their 2011 Impala in to a dealership to trade it in, and when offered 1500 for trade in they say "i put 4 grand in it last year, its gotta be worth more than 1500!"

If Helsley, Matz, and Maton or Romero get moved I’m not sure what more anyone could expect. Now make Mikolas your mop up guy and give as many starts to McGreevy and Graceffo as possible.

Graceffo isn't stretched out. He got moved to the bullpen in Memphis. 'Fraid Mikolas is with us until the bitter end.
