Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
Bloom is not trading Winn or Wetherholt. That's a potential middle infield combo for multiple years.
As for the rest of the ML roster, I think he holds onto Burleson and Herrera. Anyone else is expendable.

Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
That's the way I see it. They aren't trading Doyle either. I guess there could be a surprise trade but not involving the 3 mentioned. Someone needing a lefty bat could overpay for Burly. And really we are so strapped for rh bats, it would have to be a big overpay for Herrera. But people don't normally overpay for defensive liabilities.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 22:48 pm Bloom is not trading Winn or Wetherholt.

No they have Jacob Wilson, All Star. Even if they didn't have a SS there is no way they would trade Kurtz for WinnShady wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 19:15 pmWith Wetherholt a suitable replacement at SS, That Winn for Kurtz kind of trade kind of makes sense. Do the A's need a SS?Adam2 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 18:56 pmAre you saying you think there's even a 1 percent chance the As would trade Kurtz for Masyn?Strummer Jones wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 18:53 pm Winn is not untouchable...because there's a non-zero chance that whoever is Sacramento's GM would give us Kurtz for Winn.
It would take a trade like that.

Is there another SS in the Cardinals pipeline?

JJW---Untouchable
I. Hererra---Untouchable
L. Doyle---Untouchable
M. Winn---No
I wouldn't be actively shopping him but if some GM came offering a young starter w/FOTR upside and years of control, then I'd deal him.

Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
It would also need to include a young power hitting prospect with a lot of upside. The return for Winn would need to be comparable to what the Padres gave for Soto.rockondlouie wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 08:49 am JJW---Untouchable

and no...Soto is/was worth more than Winn.
Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
Winn could be a long-term fixture at a critical defensive position for a team, not a short term fix like Soto was.craviduce wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 09:47 amSoto?Shady wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 09:38 amIt would also need to include a young power hitting prospect with a lot of upside.

Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
and you're STILL NOT going to get the return for Winn that the Nats got for Soto. Look it up, the Cards are not getting that haul of nearly ready MLB players for Winn. Yes, they'd get a decent return...but nothing like you blindly claim. Do your homework.Shady wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 09:51 amWinn could be a long-term fixture at a critical defensive position for a team, not a short term fix like Soto was.craviduce wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 09:47 amSoto?Shady wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 09:38 amIt would also need to include a young power hitting prospect with a lot of upside.

don't say nuffin' bad about MyManMasyn
Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
Ok, like I mentioned previously. A really high level power hitting prospect in addition to a future top of the rotation starting pitcher might work for Winn. Plug Wetherholt in at SS. The position he predominantly played in the minors. Just hot stove talk, crav.craviduce wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 09:54 amand you're STILL NOT going to get the return for Winn that the Nats got for Soto.

Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
Assuming the Cards trade Gray, I think Libby and McGreevy basically become untouchable by default/necessity as the only returning SP for the ML rotation. They couldn't afford to create more holes in that scenario. Already need to sign/acquire two SPs at least, can't make it three.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 22:48 pm Bloom is not trading Winn or Wetherholt.

And no, putting Pallante back in the rotation is not an option they should entertain.
Re: Are the only untouchables Wetherholt and Winn?
again...do your homework. Learn who a player is...the guy who will probably place 2nd or 3rd in the NL MVP vote.... Juan "Soto". Then look up the players worth...then compare.Shady wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025 10:00 amOk, like I mentioned previously.

Wetherholt's best position will be 2B....his footwork, throwing, and decision making is best at 2B. Plus, you don't want to shed RHB just to shed them. Winn stays, he can hit...or at least holds his own.
