The Cardinals with Kyle Tucker.

[sikeston bulldog2]

I see more talk of Tucker. He’s the kind you add. At costs.

Correct.
The rest of the roster can battle for the
other open spots or used to
acquire what is needed. How does that diminish a team
trying to win.

Still takes both sides to agree and both sides
need to want to agree.

He is a BIG part of what this team is lacking and needs. No doubt.

Cards could easily fix this mess before Christmas.....if they really wanted to!

If I know you know that
Tucker has his own free will in this.

But a Tucker like player is needed.

Problem is, a Tucker type just don’t exist. The league is bare. We need one, and it probably comes from the farm. Which is lengthy and time consuming.

Not enough time for that Bdog.
A Kyle Tucker type does exist - his name is Kyle Tucker! Go pay the man and bring him in!!!

Yes you are correct. Time and Timing. Everything. As for Tucker, he will be had for the highest bidder, most likely. No different than all the studs before him.

[sikeston bulldog2]

Now with him in a long slump, any interest or does the money come down.

Great player, would love to see him on the Cardinals - but with the contract he will get, he is bound for LA or NYC.

Not me. The intent here was to show the need for that level player on our team, both for production and star power. Then to ask- if not a Tucker, then who, satisfies that big bat requirement. Then since tucker was in a walk year, timings everything.

Life is just a fantasy; can you live this fantasy life.

Saw him sitting on a sunbeam
In the middle of your daydream
Oh, your Tucker fantasy, can't happen......

The sad/funny thing is they actually need 2-3 "Tucker-like" bats in order to have a real shot at a WS.

Look at Dodgers: Freeman/Betts/Ohtani
Phillies: Harper/Schwarber
Yankees '24: Judge/Soto
Mets '25: Soto/Alonso/Lindor
Seattle: Raleigh/Rodriguez
Padres: Machado/Tatis
Cubs: Tucker/PCA/Busch/Suzuki

Cards: Burleson/Contreras/Herrera
