What are your Cardinals trade deadline predictions?

[vegascardsfan5890]

Who gets traded?
To where?


I'm going to say:
Helsley- Phillies
Maton- Dodgers
Matz- Yankees

I don't think anyone else gets traded. Mo pretty much said the rental guys would be the guys he's taking calls on.

Mikolas could be gone to a desperately needy pitching team, maybe the Mets. If wants to waive his NTC

I don't think Arenado or Gray waive their NTC

No position players get moved

[hugeCardfan]

Maybe but I'm hearing that Sonny Gray might be willing to waive the NTC if he goes to the right team; thinking geography as much as team standing.

If that is the case, it’s another Moz failure..

[kyace]

Helsley and Nootbaar to Dodgers
Romero to Yankees
Maton to Tigers or Jays

[ramfandan]

More interested in Bloom trades at the Winter Meetings .

Agreed. Fedde was a fail. They have no stars a glut of capable players. They wont be competitive next year, so listen to all offers except Winn/JJ

Helsley and Nootbaar to Dodgers
Romero to Yankees
Maton to Tigers or Jays

That would be nice. In addition to Arenado, Gray and Mikolas to any teams.

Pretty much this. I expect the Helsley haul to be underwhelming. Wouldn't be shocked if it was similar to what we got from Baltimore for Flaherty.

Mo can't help but get a really good return for Helsley.

Maybe but I'm hearing that Sonny Gray might be willing to waive the NTC if he goes to the right team; thinking geography as much as team standing.

Gray wants his be close to his family in Tennessee. Atlanta would be ideal or perhaps Cincinnati.

Helsley to Dodgers
Maton and Noot to Yanks
Shocker of all, Nado to Tigers.
Oh, and I win the 7/31 lotto mega millions draw.

Which prompts the question…

Will you extend your current family??

They're on an option year.

Dumped already: Fedde
Must trade now: Helsley, Matz, Maton
Worthless now but pending FA: Mikolas --- needed as SP since we don't have other starters ready for a look/see
Worthless now but pending FA, Hampson --- needed as 13th man who doesn't ever play
Can trade now or non-tender at end of season: King --- needed as bullpen LHP for rest of season
Trade/release at end of season: Baker, Gorman, Koperniak, Siani, Thompson

AAA next year: Walker, Pages

2026 roster
C Crooks, Pozo (Pages, Bernal in AAA)
1B Contreras
DH Herrera
2B Donovan (Fermin in AAA) (Wetherholt starts in AAA)
SS Winn, Saggese
3B Arenado (Prieto in AAA)
RF Burleson, Church (Walker finishes 2025 but AAA in 2026)
CF Scott
LF Nootbar (Torres in AAA)

SP Gray, Liberatore, Pallante, McGreevy, (Mathews???, Roby???, Taylor???, Henderson???, Racjic???)
RP Romero, Leahy, O'Brien, Fernandez, Svanson, Granillo, Graceffo, Ralston???

Competition: Fermin vs Church vs Prieto vs Torres vs Saggese vs Wetherholt for 3 bench spots (only 2 if we add a RH OF as we should)

Offseason needs: Add RHOF, SP, RHRP, LHRP
Available: Burleson or Nootbar but we would have to get another RHOF if either is traded.

Offseason tries: Try to find Arenado a happy new home (doubt it happens)
Offseason tries: Try to find Gray a happy new home (doubt it happens; if it does we need another SP)

Nolan Arenado to Milwaukee Brewers . First one to predict this shocker ! better time stamp this Sun. 27th 11:06 pm
