Cards Looking for RHH OF

[Ozziesfan41]

It’s ironic because this is the same type of list Mo would assemble in the offseason for his “playoff push” moves…..

lol mo would continue to have faith in the outfielders they already have and not bring anyone from the outside so that’s far from a mo move it would be a jockety/Larussa move to bring in a veteran outfielder but Mos would be we like what we have don’t want to take at bats away from anyone and blah blah

Mo would throw an outfield of Nootbaar, Scott, and Walker and hope all made unrealistic improvements. He was a master at spending entire winters sticking his thumbs up his (donkey).

lol yep

[Cardinals1964]

Saw another report in which they are considering Bader which would actually make sense - the other option was Hunter Renfroe which at that point they might as well give Saggese or Herrera a shot in left.

No. Please don’t. Move on. We need an outfield with some pop. Add it to it. Unless you think Bader will propel the Cardinals into the playoffs somehow.

Mo was a genius until it ran out. He kept 3 million fans in the stadium with the promise of the next prospect was the real deal. Like most Cardinals fans, they ate up everything the Cardinals told them, because to disagree with their idols would be blasphemy. So most fans adopted whatever mentality Mo was throwing out there at the time.
Now they will adopt whatever Bloom throws out there. Hopefully Bloom produces.

I believe that Bader is in his prime and could potentially outperform a 2 year contract.

Just say no to Harrison Bader.

This organization is so cheap …. Cards fans deserve better

Maybe Cards fans do deserve better, but you don't.

Replacing the void left by moving Willson Contreras…

Cardinals Looking To Add Right-Handed Hitting Outfielder

Names include:
Willi Castro
Miguel Andujar
Luis Rengifo
Austin Hays
Tommy Pham
Chas McCormick

From that list I prefer Andujar or Hayes.

I have had Andujar on my want list for months. One year deal for 5-7 MM.

I was looking at Andujar, he has hit for average, but his run production is lower than what it should be. I’m not sure I’d want to give that much money for what he ends up producing.
McCormick, could be a good change-of-scenery option. His cost should be a lot lower than Andujar’s.
However, my preference, if they are determined to trade Donovan, would be to acquire a good hitter in return for a combination of Donovan and Romero. Kristian Campbell is on my wishlist.

I’m not sue the point of this??
If dumping salary and not caring about winning in ‘26, why bother with bringing any new MLB bodies in? Play your young guys like last season
Why bring in May and pay him 12mil?
So they can win 75-80 games opposed to 65-70?

I’m not a big believer in rushing prospects to the big leagues. I actually think it’s detrimental in more than one way. A players psychology. The team burning through service time. The 40-Man Roster being consumed by someone not ready to produce.

So, maybe the thinking here allows a prospect to remain in the minors for further instruction/development?

The Cardinals just keep burning through players who they rush to the Bigs, have a promising season, burn out before they touch their Prime, then get picked up and produce at a lessened market value but in their primes for other teams (ref Luke Voit & Adolis Garcia)

Andujar has been my guy too:

Why would Contreras want to stay?

M. Andjuar/30 (2025: .318 .352 .470 .822) could be a cheap one year OFer signing.

He is Dominican, but is he "one tough Dominican"?

Any short term deal may be Bloom thinking, I can flip this guy at the trade deadline!

Why would the player sign in St Louis? Because they will trade him to a playoff team later!

I like Andujar for several reasons. He has power, hit 27 HR with the Yankees in 2018, and 10 with A's and Reds last year in only 321 AB. He finally got healthy last season after years of injuries limited his PT. He does not strike out a lot, and he is still only 30 yrs old. He is mostly a LF at this point, but he has played some 3B. His slash line vs LHP: .297/.332/.475/.807.
Give him an offer before the Reds sign him.

McCormick has declined severely in the last two seasons, but he did have a very solid '23. If they don't get Andujar, maybe they could take a low cost 1 year flier on him. I do like his slash line vs LHP: .280/.354/.493/.847.

Now I would love to get Kristian Campbell!! I would be shocked if Bloom could get him for Donovan and JoJo. That would be a massive, tremendous trade. I expect Boston would require much more talent to let Campbell go.

I would love to see him get tough in a Cardinal uni next year.
Joaquin was one of a kind, for certain.

Hopefully they can pick one up in a trade

With the Dodgers.

Donny + Noot = A. Pages!

(And the Dodgers sign K. Tucker)
