Cijntje confirmed.

Snore. Typical Cardinals move to get a carnival freak show for marketing purposes.

What happens if he strictly throws with one arm?
He gets a better assessment

All we get is an undersized RHP?

I don't think anyone is reporting right now that this is the deal. Gotta believe that there's more to this deal. If Reis is saying that he knows the particulars of the deal and he's saying it's appropriate, exciting, and fun, there's no way it's just one guy.

Please tell me the Cardinals got something more than a gimicky switch pitcher.

Cijntje confirmed.

Hoping there are additional pieces, this doesn’t sound like a great return if it’s just him.

He’s clearly the centerpiece, and that’s not a good thing.

He’s a top 100 prospect. That’s a good start.

People would have complained about anything. I get that, Bud Donovan was not going to return Babe Ruth from the grave

And now he's saying that there's more to it than this, but that Cijntje is indeed part of the trade.

Plus Tai Peete, maybe?

Yea bloom should have kept him if that’s the only return

Why? Top 100 prospect. Big arm. High K rate.

He’s a very good prospect

There better be at least one more player coming to St. Louis, or the Cardinals got hosed.

Keeping Donovan would be incredibly dumb

I am fine with him being a piece, not loving it if he is the center piece. Not complaining, I will be pulling for him to succeed.

Thanks a bunch Ronnie...keep those updates coming

get me a Comp Pick from Tampa while you're at it. Get me Summerhill too. Or Dickerson from Seattle

we need bats in a bad way

Cijntje, Tai Pete, from Seattle, and still more coming from TB, according to Reis.

Per Adam Jude:

The Mariners are sending Ben Williamson to Tampa Bay and two prospects to St. Louis in the Brendan Donovan trade: switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje, the Mariners' 2024 first-round pick, and Tai Peete, a 2023 first-round pick, sources tell @RyanDivish and me.
