Dodgers Trade Proposal

Post by CardRamBlue »

How about Cards trade Helsley, Arenado, & Donovan to Dodgers for C Dalton Rushing and P Bobby Miller. Eat most of Nados contract.

Its hard watching these other so-called catchers everyday. Yes I know we have young catchers in the minors that can help as well, but its time to upgrade the position.

So basically our reliever who hits FA in 2 months for their best catching prospect and a pitcher with tons of upside.

Sounds fair.

Nah, I might try Hels for Miller straight up. Donnie is their most valuable piece, he should net 1-2 top shelf prospects alone.

Still no need to add another C, especially with Bernal (Top 100, switch hitter) on the way, and Rodriguez behind him

Did you skip over the part about including Donovan and then Arenado for no cost? Or you being obtuse on purpose?

I don’t like the OPs deal, but this one is markedly worse and would be an absolute deadline failure.

If I’m Mo/Chaim, for Helsley, I’m asking the Dodgers for Josue De Paula and the Phillies for Mick Abel / Aidan Miller.

Bobby Miller?!?!

Why on earth would you want Rushing when the Cardinals are overloaded w/catching prospects?

Trying to create an entire team of catchers.

C- Crooks
1B- Contreras
2B- Pages
3B-
SS-
LF- Herrera
CF-
RF- Rushing
DH- Bernal

We just need to find a catcher to play 3B, SS, and CF!

Yes, the entire idea is to trade from positions of strength to fill positions of weakness!

How about three or four catchers who can be starting pitchers?

Too bad he's gone, we could've got Macho Man the former Cardinals farmhand catcher to be our mascot.

Ooooooooooh Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :mrgreen:
