No more trades.

"Stuck" is a bit harsh considering Donovan & JoJo are solid players.

And even if they're "stuck" w/NADO until midseason, his defense at 3rd base is a massive upgrade over Norman who can DH.

But I'd be surprised if Donny & JoJo are seen in Jupiter.

NADO could be unless the Angels pull the trigger.

There’s pretty much universal agreement Rock that Arenado needs to be moved.
However....if the offers Bloom is getting are for the Cards to pay half his remaining contract and get ZIP in return you might as well hang on to him?
The FO has already cleared some salary and since Arenado is only going to make $15M next season he may not move until the deadline or next offseason?

For sure, universal on both sides.

BUT

It takes two to tango and thus far no team has stepped forward, other than rumored, and made an offer for NADO.

I still think he's gone before Opening Day.

What happens if there are no more trades by the Cardinals.
You’re stuck with Arenado, Donovan, JoJo and whoever else you want to throw in there.

I heard today that it’s highly likely that Donovan is on this team to start 2026. Why? Because St. Louis thinks more of him than other teams. That’s the travesty that the Cardinals are. Nobody wants their best All-Star player enough to give up anything that is worth having.

Donovan for Andy Pages. That’s funny.
Arenado for anyone is hilarious. They just want him off the roster. You won’t get a return in talent.

Gorman Sucks, let’s trade him for an All-Star.

Walker should bring 3 top prospects.

Bloom knows nothing even though I work at McDonald’s by day.

I’m just having fun.

Like, no more trades ever?

And he takes needed at bats away from who?

Gorman, Wetherholt, Saggese?

I question your qualifications to work at McDonalds

I think the opposite.. he seems to be highly qualified even stating ‘I am having fun’ … my guess he is in charge of Happy Meals !

the OP obviously (to me) doesn't work at McDonalds.
Just a CTer with a good sense of humor.

I always appreciate that McDonald's consistently has clean bathrooms when we go on road trips across the Midwest. I always compensate by buying something. But, thank you for your service.

What were we talking about?

[scoutyjones2]

Note that top free agents haven't moved yet...Bregman, Bichette, Tucker, Gallen

Once that happens, the rest will follow

But I have a short attention span and demand action now!

Welcome to the club. There are dues. Check your email

Bathrooms are my specialty. I’m having a hard time learning the fry machine.

I didn’t say or predict there wouldn’t be anymore trades. I certainly hope there are. But, what if there isn’t? What’s the team look like then.

Looks like last place.

They still pick up a reliever and outfielder.

Will they sign a SP to a 3-4 year contract?
or a couple RP's.
They could be better if positions are earned
versus long runways.

That said NA has to be moved. The man has done
everything to say he wants out short of demanding a trade.
Twice sending his agent out trying to
find a new job. He is just understandably picky
because it's his last chance to get it right.

Does he count?

Who would that outfielder replace. The reliever is easier.

I don’t think NA is in a position to be picky.
I don’t think they are signing anyone 3-4 years.

You get the results you're going to get anyway. Dead last in the NL Central.

I’m not as pessimistic. I would just like to see some excitement. Somebody to root for. Somebody you want to drive downtown to go see. Show some sparks of brilliance. Give me something. Anything. Please.

He was a year ago, perhaps choosey this time.
I doubt he jumps at LAA until it looks more dim.

They'll sign someone sooner maybe even this year.
