Might need to travel to San Diego tomorrow.

King to IL --> Graceffo
Helsley --> Granillo?
Matz --> Mosqueda?
Maton --> Fernandez?

Kinda figured we'd get a AAA/AAAA lefty somewhere. Matz is gone, King sucks and is hurt, and Romero might be packing his bags.

O'Brien can bring it at 100 MPH. Maybe draw the connection from Helsley there.

Zach Thompson is coming of the IL. If he gets healthy and effective out of the pen, could replace Matz. I don't know much about Mosqueda.

I think O'Brien probably takes the 9th now. But I don't rule out Graceffo. There were rumblings that he might be the heir apparent. Lots of parallels between him and Helsley.

Yep. And I forgot about Graceffo. They'll be able to figure out the bullpen.

They said really like Graceffo as a back end of the rotation option. Lehay would be an interesting option also since he pitches you a lot and can go multiple innings maybe coming into the eighth if there’s trouble and pitch the rest of it and the ninth. Cards have some really good late inning potentials And with helsley gone the auditions for next years closer are underway

They need a 5th and 6th SP next year. Graceffo / Leahy could be it when stretched out.

CT will freak when there are no FA signings again this off season. The bloom will go off the Bloom.

He’s had a good year this year. Hitting .304 with a .494 SLG% in AA/AAA. Don’t know that we could get him for Matz though.

Seriously? For what we got for Helsley! We will get nothing near as good as this guy!

They may wheel and deal to swap out guys like Walker and Gorman, too.

C. Bloom acquired a kid he knows well.

Blaze Jordan has some potential to be better than the suspects Mo got from the Mutts.

I like this trade WAY better than the Mets deal. This is the approach that they should've taken for a guy like Helsley. Minor leaguer would've been fine, but one who's close and possibly blocked, like Blaze.
