I do not think it would be in the Cardinals best interest to consider such a trade as this.

No.

Harper could contribute immediately in 2026, and maybe 2027. Those would be training years for Wetherholr. But you keep Wetherholt for his potential longer-term benefit

I’m thinking JJ may see third base. Then we might see the next George Brett.

If not, then he may have a Tommy Herr type year, mucho doubles.

Throw in Roby so we can get Sanchez and Schwarber too! Or would we be giving up too much??

Was this supposed to be a serious question or just a joke? Either way, it's just stupid

Bryce Harper might be the most overrated player of his generation. He had one great season, nearly 10 bWAR but other than that has had only two others with even a 5 bWAR. He's now relegated to being a below average 1B, has never led his team to a World Series title and is about to enter his mid 30's. To even entertain the notion of giving up the best prospect in the organization in years is preposterous.

Your kidding right?

lol... he is a future HOFer.

I would not trade JJW for him at this stage, but let's not downgrade a future HOFer.

He’s 33 on tail end of career

Contract at 25 mill goes through 2032

He has NTC. No way he would go to cardinals.

Dumb, dumb dumb.

Harper can still slug with the best of them. What's Sosa making? 25 million/year for Harper would be a bargain.

Well let's take a look at Sammy Sosa's BR page. Looks like his last contract was league minimum ($500k) from the Texas Rangers as a 38 year old back in 2007. But he did make $17m from the Orioles in 2005! Does that help frame the Harper debate??
