Bloom can trade for the rebuild and still contend next season

Post by Shady »

With more trades like the Gray trade. If he can trade Donovan, Contreras, Nootbaar and Romero for a combo of a young MLB ready player (Fitts) and a high level prospect (Clarke) in those trades. I don't expect much return in an Arenado trade.

I agree. Wouldn't it be wonderful to get two young, proven MLB players in trades for each of the four I mentioned? What trades like that do you propose? Maybe a Donovan trade could bring that.

I don’t think you’re getting high ceiling mlb ready prospects for those guys.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Cardinals could trade 50 cents for a dollar multiple times, AND rebuild and still contend next season? That would be awesome!"

That's why I said getting something on the likes of the Gray trade might help compete in next season and in the rebuild. However, from what I'm gathering, it is setting up for Bloom to get a bonanza return for Donovan. I would settle for nothing less.

"hello, Seattle, I know you're contending for a World Series, but how about you give me your MLB All-star players for Donovan. Hello, hello, hello? I think they hung up on me."

"Hello, Pittsburgh, it's Shady again...Bubba Chandler for Jord....Hello, hello? Again, they hung up mid-sentence"

Don't call others stupid when you make OP's like this.
