And I could see the Cards putting together a package for a trade.
For me....I’m actually more concerned about the rotation moving forward?
Gray- solid arm
Libby- fingers crossed that he has arrived?
Pallante- I think he provides a solid #5?

After that obviously McGreevy gets his chance.
Fingers crossed with him.
They do have some interesting arms in the minors who could arrive in 2026.
Question? Will they swing a package deal for a starter???

Let's hope between Mathews, Roby and Hence. At least one comes through to help the rotation next season.

Not happening.

For that power hitting prospect you'd have to start w/J.J.W. and Q. M., no way you want to make that deal.

Draft& Develop is their only shot since BDWJr will never, ever win a bidding ware for one.

same guy said we'd get 2 Front of the rotation starters for Carlson in 2023, and 2 Front of the rotation starters for Nado in 2024. And same with Goldy. Then he said we could get all of the Yankees top pitching prospects, which don't exist, this offseason by trading Nado.

He won't/doesn't listen.

We need to ignore him.

Name calling is about to commence. He's cornered.

Or we could trade Nado to the Red Sox for 2 of their top 5 prospects...including Bleis, whose name he butchered 3 times.

"We need to ignore him". You don't seem to be able to accomplish that yourself. Set the example.You need to be in daycare.

Helsley cannot get that in a return. Why do you think he could? What specific prospect did you have in mind? Be specific

He technically could get a power only prospect. Someone that is a future 25 HR DH only that plays horrible defense and is in AA. However with Wetherholt at 2B next year and Donnie in the OF they have Burley Hererra Gorman and maybe Walker all at DH

ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑06 Jul 2025 11:46 am I'd say it's unlikely but we did get Saggesse in a late July deal. I suppose it could happen but "really good power hitting prospects" are a rare commodity.

Would probably have to sweeten the pot with more than a 2 month rental.
