I still haven't noticed your reasoning for Burleson being a "light hitting clown". I hope you have an excuse, other than, possibly, drinking, for your gross ignorance
How about the Unicorn for Harper? Would the Phillies go for that? Do you absolutely guarantee Wetherholt will be more successful at the MLB level than Gorman? If not, why not trade him for an established slugger?
No way. That dude is not going to earn his huge salary the next few. Really bad proposal Shady. Never even considered by anyone with an ounce of baseball acumen.
So you, having an abundance of "baseball acumen", please tell us your suggestion for making the Cardinals a true contender next season. I'm looking forward to you sharing your brilliance. Let's see it.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑26 Oct 2025 17:54 pmNo way. That dude is not going to earn his huge salary the next few. Really bad proposal Shady.

Problem is we’re still waiting to hear even one “viable solution” from you. Your “viable solutions” usually involve fantastical trade proposals in which the Cardinals get massive hauls in exchange for a few buckets of balls.

You REFUSE to accept what the Front Office has said over and over again...."this coming season will be a rebuild year."
If you refuse to accept it and make the ridiculous threads like this, you'll get fair criticism.
Jatalk was right above "dumb, dumb, dumb"
Good reasoning. I don't disagree. "target the 28 and under young veteran in either trades or free agency". That absolutely would be ideal. I just threw the Wetherholt for Harper suggestion out there on another slow day on CT.

As much as I hate prospect drooling and believe experience and proven veterans are needed on this team, I have to say Wetherholt is too much (like the aforementioned Devers scenario) and Harper is too old. We’ve been burned by the age wall way too much the last several years….Arenado, Goldschmidt, Yadi, Wainwright.
The team needs to target the 28 and under young veteran in either trades or free agency.
You would have been better off pitching a trade of Wetherholt and Liberatore for Skenes. Pittsburgh has already wasted two years of Skenes and Wetherholt gives them an everyday player who is promotable right now with 6 years of control and a decent mid-to backend starter with 3 more years of control.
Oh let’s see by the time his contract expires he’ll be 41 years old. And oh let’s see we will take a chunk of the available payroll and spend on one player when we need multiple players. And oh let’s see…… it’s a bad idea.
That's an intriguing trade proposal. Much better than the Wetherholt for Harper that I threw out there. Though, the Cardinals could include some salary relief in a Wetherholt for Harper deal to make it more palatable. Harper is a really, really good, proven MLB slugger in case anybody hasn't noticed. Who have the Cardinals had even close to him in the recent past? Please don't say Goldschmidt, Arenado and Contreras sin the last few years.CorneliusWolfe wrote: ↑26 Oct 2025 18:25 pmYou would have been better off pitching a trade of Wetherholt and Liberatore for Skenes.

I know this example is far-fetched but those are the only types of moves a team in our position should consider if moving such a high-end prospect. Star level youth at a position of great need.
