I’d love to have Cameron but I don’t think KC will trade him.
they have a 1B and/or RF...Cags
Correct on 1B. They are looking for offensive improvement for all 3 OF spots. They are open to trading Cameron. He is kind of a left-handed Michael McGreevy, they just have more pitching than offense.
Kendry Chourio...and call it a day.

I want RHP depth, and they don't need to be MLB ready. I guess I'm just looking at this through a much different scope....beyond the Labor Lull that's coming up...beyond 2027.
That is the way to go.

I wouldn't trade the future budding super star for any less than Paul Skenes or a Tarik Skubal type. He is just going to be too valuable to lose for less than that. I feel he is well on his way to being the next Roger Horsnby!

I think that is how you spelled his name using your sock puppet Celtic Jim earlier?

I did not answer because the question makes little sense.
Why ponder what Cardinal pitcher we would trade Burleson for???
The question should be about what return would make sense for Burleson from another team???

The upside if Hjerpes breaks out the entire team might go viral

You’d better make sure you really want him, because once you have him, you’re stuck with him for life.

Not seeing the approximate same value here. 2.99 ERA, 140 IP, nearly 4 WAR, 4th in ROY with 5 years of control for Burleson now in arb years? Seems lopsided as hell in our favor. Am I missing something? Because I don’t see how KC GM would even consider it. I don’t think they’d take Donovan for him straight up either, much less Burleson. Maybe both, if they had glaring needs at both positions.

Some of you are jaded regarding how good a baseball player is because the cardinals don’t have but a few. The cardinals’ best players are complementary players on contending teams. No one is giving up a top level AAA pitcher for a 6 hole hitter who doesn’t play good defense. He would be an elite 6 hole hitter. Unfortunately, he and Herrera are the best the cardinals can produce.
"Burleson does not return a really good AAA player. No chance". That's plain bullsshhiitt.
Would you give up Mathews for Alec Burleson? When Liam Doyle makes it to AAA, would you trade him for Alec Burleson? Literally zero chance.

It's simple. It was to get some perspective on Burleson's possible trade value. Because most CT posters are likely familiar with Cardinals' pitchers. Sometimes you just have to put 2 + 2 = 4 together.

That’s ok.
I understand where you’re going.
I just didn’t answer because I’d rather spend my time researching who they COULD deal for from another team.
But I understand your analogy to Cards pitchers.

Thanks. You seem understand the relevance relating to pitchers on other teams. There was at least one viable pitcher from another team mentioned and discussed.
