No more trades.
What happens if there are no more trades by the Cardinals.
You’re stuck with Arenado, Donovan, JoJo and whoever else you want to throw in there.
I heard today that it’s highly likely that Donovan is on this team to start 2026. Why? Because St. Louis thinks more of him than other teams. That’s the travesty that the Cardinals are. Nobody wants their best All-Star player enough to give up anything that is worth having.
Donovan for Andy Pages. That’s funny.
Arenado for anyone is hilarious. They just want him off the roster. You won’t get a return in talent.
Gorman Sucks, let’s trade him for an All-Star.
Walker should bring 3 top prospects.
Bloom knows nothing even though I work at McDonald’s by day.
I’m just having fun.

Re: No more trades.
Whole lotta projection on your part OP. There will be more trades. No one expects a haul. Other teams appropriately rate Donovan highly as does STL.

Re: No more trades.
One, of about a dozen things, that continually amazes me is the lack of patience on CT. The expectation that the trades would be done in a week and that failure to do so, indicates a lack of expertise on the part of management. It takes two to make a trade and the FA's will always go first. Fixing this team is going to take time. Late draft choices, the failure of top prospects to progress as fast as projected, and several questionable trades dug this hole. The Cards can not buy their way out of the problem and developing talent takes time.
On another topic, I'm amazed that the 22 mid and small market teams have not used their numbers to force the big market team to support a united tactic that allows increased competition. I understand the big guys love to win every year, but a salary cap and floor would reward excellent planning and execution of a well run franchise. The players still get their money, it just would be spread around the teams. a player might have to go to Denver or, heaven help us STL, to get his multi-year, multi-million dollar contract instead of all the stars being concentrated on 5 or 6 teams.

Well, this might explain how low McDonalds has their bar for employee requirements.

Note that top free agents haven't moved yet...Bregman, Bichette, Tucker, Gallen
Once that happens, the rest will follow

Re: No more trades.
"Stuck" is a bit harsh considering Donovan & JoJo are solid players.
And even if they're "stuck" w/NADO until midseason, his defense at 3rd base is a massive upgrade over Norman who can DH.
But I'd be surprised if Donny & JoJo are seen in Jupiter.
NADO could be unless the Angels pull the trigger.

Re: No more trades.
Donovan is only the team's best player, after the Gray and Contreras trades, but do continue spinning false narratives.

There’s pretty much universal agreement Rock that Arenado needs to be moved.rockondlouie wrote: ↑03 Jan 2026 08:44 am "Stuck" is a bit harsh considering Donovan & JoJo are solid players.

However....if the offers Bloom is getting are for the Cards to pay half his remaining contract and get ZIP in return you might as well hang on to him?
The FO has already cleared some salary and since Arenado is only going to make $15M next season he may not move until the deadline or next offseason?

Every time I read the thread title I can’t help but see Ozzys - No More Tears.
