Outfield
Want to turbocharge the rebuild while staying in budget? Upgrade either RF or CF. You have in house replacements for Arenado, Noot, and Donovan (if that is who is traded this off-season). Scott, Church, Siani, and Walker were all replacement level this year.
My vote (without spelling out how we accomplish the trade)- Jarren Duran, OF Red Sox.
Here are a few trade rumors from various sites which delve into his profile:

Re: Outfield
Just adding one solid OF bat would make a huge difference.

Re: Outfield
The StL outfield production has sucked for 3 years. There has not been a legitimate bat out there since Bader and O'Neill. And pud Marmol couldn't stand them. So we end up with the current nonsense of Nootbaar, Scott, and Walker.
Walker looks like baseball is some foreign sport to him.
Scott thinks he's a star but in reality, he sucks.
Nootbaar's most noteworthy action is falling off a rail and landing on IR.
Great work, John boy and Oli. You two dumb[ash] created this (bleep) show.

Re: Outfield
Why would Boston trade him when his option is $8? He's also another LH OF bat...

Re: Outfield
The name of the game right now is accumulating prospects.
You trade for Duran, you:
1. Deplete your prospects/trade chips in a big way that you should be using to get prospects and/or build for the future.
2. Probably add to payroll since JD is hitting arbitration.
3. Have him for ONLY 3 YEARS.
To suggest a Duran trade is totally tone deaf to the Cards' game plan.

Re: Outfield
Sorry, I dont want to be satisfied with the garbage seasons we have seen the last 3 years. Mozeliak and Marmol are largely to blame.Cranny wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025 08:04 amThat’s the spirit, JA.
