Who would you trade. 10 days to deadline.

[craviduce]

Also...I think teams would pay a pretty penny for a lot of payroll control left with Leahy

You don't trade pitching. Ever.

we traded nothing but pitching last year at the deadline....so...yeah

I'll trade expiring contracts. Guys like Leahy, no.
roll your own

I understand what you would do...the F.O. will trade contracts that aren't expiring... they traded Gray with a year left.

Different situation but you know that

we're at a time where the Org can trade pitching of any kind, we're that back logged and stocked in the system.

it's something fans will need to start getting used to....I wouldn't bat an eye if we traded a rotation piece not named May.

[Cardinals1964]

I'd trade anyone not named JJ and Jordan

I'd focus on the expiring contracts first...listen to offers on everyone else...and I'd need to be knocked out of my socks to make those trades for the likes of Winn, Burley, Herrera, Pallante, Leahy, McGreevy, Liberatore, etc

I agree with that although I personally they should keep unless an offer blows them away. If it wasn’t for JJ and winns game changing defense up the middle the cardinals would be below .500 right now. I think trade anyone else but keep those three. If you upgrade third and Bernal is a decent offensive catcher you can live with winns offense I think he will break out offensively also

Yep I respect people's opinions, but no way I trade Winn. His defense is game changing and his Offense is starting to click-or evolve if you will. Our rebuild is farther down the road if you were to trade him. We don't have a second or third baseman unless Blaze really steps it up.

It all depends on what you can get for him.

Not only think we could- think we should.

Maybe so. I'm not that convinced of our minor league pitching. That's a (bleep) shoot.
Leahy is proving himself.

So who offered the major league roster would you trade? I’ll keep it to major league roster only.

My simple answer is anybody on the roster is available. For the right deal nobody is untouchable.

In reality I’d say JJ and Walker shouldn’t be traded. Everyone else is up for grabs.

The only way I would say a player is untouchable is if he was the best player in Major league baseball that couldn’t be replaced with a better talent.

At some point, very specific decisions must be made as to who to keep and who to deal.
"Everyone except 2 people" isn't really a plan.
Further, short-term and long-term exigencies must be constantly evaluated and weighed against each other.
So, what is the correct answer for the deadline?
Happy to provide that.
Bruihl, Hence, O' Brien, Stanek, Fernandez are on the 40 man and any two could be moved.
Any one of May, Pallante, Leahy, and Liberatore could be moved - or 2 from the group if a starting pitcher was acquired before the deadline.
It would be a huge gift to either player if Gorman or Scott were to be traded.
Mootbaar should have been traded 4 years ago when I was the only person on the planet who understood that and it would be gross incompetence on the part of Bloom to fail to do so now.
Any two from the Fermin, Torres, Valazquez, and Saggese scrum could fit into one package or another.
The catcher situation, which the team has somehow managed to turn into a mess rather than an asset, is best addressed in the off-season.
That is the correct approach to the OP's question regarding the 40-man roster.
If requested, I can provide the answer concerning those not on the 40 man.

Listening to offers for anyone on the roster is a plan.

"Anyone", by definition, is the opposite of a specific, strategic, purposeful plan.

[ecleme22]

May
Romero
O’Brien
Noot

Dark horse:
Herrera
Burleson
Libby
Pallante
Gorman, if possible
Leahy

I hope they legitimately consider all of these guys. Let's do the heavy lifting. There are more buyers and fewer sellers this year. A good time not to be passive.

I don’t want Burly gone, but if it gets you a Cole Ragans or Addison Russell that can make an impact immediately in 2027? Why not?

May
Romero

+1.

I would trade II and III for half of a concrete.

[sadiedog51]

I hope the team is sold to someone who wants to win.

Bloom will listen to offers concerning the exact 16 names I listed who are currently on the 40 man.
Which answers the original question in this thread perfectly.

He will listen to the exact 16 names and the other 24, too. Only a fool would not listen.
