His contract ain’t that bad.juan good eye wrote: ↑02 Dec 2025 20:34 pm The contract says WC can’t be easily moved and he previously confirmed he wanted to stay.
Yet this may be end up an example of how the mind/body can be manipulated once other dominoes start to fall.
Please poceed with the Bloom PSYOPs on the hard headed players.
His salary is almost identical to the salary Josh Naylor just got in the open market for almost identical offensive production and Willson's defense is better. His contract is also shorter.ecleme22 wrote: ↑02 Dec 2025 21:04 pmHis contract ain’t that bad.juan good eye wrote: ↑02 Dec 2025 20:34 pm The contract says WC can’t be easily moved and he previously confirmed he wanted to stay.

Looks like a path where Boston could keep a Bregman and get a 1B without playingTalkin' Baseball wrote: ↑02 Dec 2025 21:33 pmHis salary is almost identical to the salary Josh Naylor just got in the open market for almost identical offensive production and Willson's defense is better.

Seems he's been open to waiving the NTC "if he finds the new team to be a good fit" since the end of the season.
Unlike S. Gray & NADO who made it pretty clear given their age they wanted out, I don't see anything new in Katie's reporting other than he "now seems more willing" to waive it.
It's still going to have to be to a team he feels is a "fit", same as he said at seasons end.
Just get over trading within the division.
B. Woodruff accepting the QO has put them in a payroll crunch which could see them even dealing Peralta!
NO WAY the Cardinals would eat one dime to send him to the hated Brewers.
The Contreras hermanos go for a championship together. Keep Yelich and Peralta and go for it.
My chips are on a Brewers trade. Might not be the most likely but I should be getting odds on my bet.

For some reason, some here feel Burleson is not an even an average defensive first baseman. And I just can't see where they are coming from with that.George McFly wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 09:18 am Would love to see him moved and Alec Burleson at first base for 2026.

What are Burleson's deficiencies at first base?

He's a below average 1st baseman, perhaps he'd improve to league average if there FT should WillyC be dealt.
He ranks in the bottom 12% in Fielding Run Value, his range is very poor in the bottom 14% of MLB.Shady wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 10:24 amWhat are Burleson's deficiencies at first base?

Why would anyone bother doing the research for you when everyone knows you’re operating entirely in bad faith?Shady wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 10:24 amWhat are Burleson's deficiencies at first base?

You sure know something about "operating entirely in bad faith". You are the worst offender on CT. Terribly narrow-minded and a trouble-maker.NYCardsFan wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 11:02 amWhy would anyone bother doing research for you when everyone knows you’re operating entirely in bad faith?Shady wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 10:24 amWhat are Burleson's deficiencies at first base?

How so, Shady? Provide some specific examples. You clearly don’t know what that term means.Shady wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 11:05 amYou sure know something about "you’re operating entirely in bad faith".

You carry a grudge. IMO, that's "operating entirely in bad faith".NYCardsFan wrote: ↑03 Dec 2025 11:08 amHow so, Shady? Provide some specific examples.

You only care about facts and data when they fit your preferred narrative—when they don’t, you actively and willfully avoid/ignore them.

It's come out today that the Brewers are now incline to go into the season w/Peralta.
But there's still no way whatsoever the Cardinals are eating one red cent to help the Brewers, never happening (IMO).
