Its All Over. What's Your Trade Deadline Grade?

[Adam2]

I'm not overwhelmed or underwhelmed. I'm disappointed Romero wasn't moved. I'll go a solid B- to C+ range

C, hopefully one of the prospects contributes down the road. Best shot is Jordan who if he can stick at third and hits for power may contribute.

3.14 is not ideal

B you got 5 guys that will slot into your top 30 prospects for rental relief pitchers. The only players that had value will still have that value in the off season. Bloom should have the right to determine who he wants going forward and not Mo. Groundwork was at least laid for moves that Bloom could make in the off season.

B - not bad at all

[ScalesofJustice]

It's what we expected but does it look like the Cards are preparing for the 2027 lockout?
A lot of prospects that are several years away from the bigs if they make it there.

A chimp could have done this. An F

Quit being such a simp. Bloom is way smarter than a chimp.

The Cardinals opened up 3 spots for their 40-man roster . That's important as the Cardinals have a few minor leaugers who are Rule 5 eligible that we need to protect that are not currently on the 40-man. Case in point, C Bernal needs to be protected .
So Mo gave Bloom some better flexibility . Also added depth to minors which later can be trade bait too.

Exactly WHO should we have acquired???

Good point about the 40 man roster.
We knew Arenado and Mikolas weren’t going because of the NTC’s.
The primary focus heading into 2026 will be the rotation.
The Cards still have excess depth with LH bats.
And more on the way(JJ and Crooks)
