3 home runs today and 13 home runs in 19 games at AAA

He's a lefty bat but we desperately need power wherever you can get it.

Give them whatever they need for the guy!

NY probably sees him as their next Judge, 6'7 slugger from the LH side.

Probably would be pricey.

Yeah, IDK, lol, but starting the negotiations off by stating you'll give them whatever they want may not be the best tactic.
Doubt if they have him available for anything very reasonable. That said, maybe start with Burly, Hence and Roby.
What do you think shades?

"Whatever they want huh ?' Ok they say they want Roby, Crooks, this years 2nd round pick Mitchell, Jordan Walker and Gorman
Do you give them that haul ?

Id even throw in a nice thank you card

Would you trade them Arenado if it meant eating 90% of the contract?

Maybe NY version of Jordan Walker.

You know, you're right. The old 5 for 1. Quantity for quality perhaps.

I’d start with Helsley, personally. But no not whatever they want

Same. And I’d add more. Most of our farm is overvalued outside of our 2 high picks.

Not everything but willing to do a lot. Supposedly they want to improve outfield. Not sure we got to offer there. But primarily 3 rd base and bull pen. Hence Arenado and Helsley. I realize Helsley is a rental but if he performed the rich Yankees probably extend. Arenado is probably 2nd maybe third best option out there for 3rd. Maybe eat some of his salary.

Interesting note on Arenado. Tax consideration. I heard that is an issue the higher taxes in New York. Of course California would be just as bad. You think that is minor it’s not.

Just dumping Arenado is of great benefit to the Cardinals. You free up some payroll plus you make infield room. One other thing. Winn is on my list. Maybe not Yankees. But he could add value for a Helsley deal or an Arenado. Durability is a concern for me. And JJ is getting close.

You people are deranged. A young cost controlled super stud; and you think they would trade him to us.

What could they ever get that rates better. The goal is to get the best, they did. He ain’t leaving.

And then you counter with junk. Pure junk for a super star.

I’m muffed.

You’re probably right but I still see them as a spot to DUMP Arenado and I’m willing to sweeten the pot to do so. It’s too important to long term plan (if there is one).
