Indians are interested in Jay Bruce. That would help bolster the lineup, and I don't think it would cost an arm and a leg.
Edit: Bruce isn't in the lineup today for the Mets. Is that correct? Can someone confirm? Any news on this from Mets fans? Day off, matchup lineup, or is he being moved?

Cardinals & Mariners swap prospects.
"The Mariners have acquired left-hander Marco Gonzales from the Cardinals in exchange for minor league outfielder Tyler O’Neill, as per a Mariners press release." Gonzales is a former first round pick in 2013 & coming off Tommy John Surgery. Has showed some good stuff when healthy. O'Niell gives the Cardinals something they don't have in the system, a legit power bat. Love the power but looking at the low average & high strike outs has me worried he could just be Randal Grichuk 2.0. Would love to hear what those who know more about O'Niell think of him. Some of the local sprorts guys (newspaper & radio) are thinking this might be part of another deal in the works because the Cardinals were already pretty deep in the outfield. A lot of then are saying (wishing) the Cardinals would put together a package to send to the Marlins for Stanton. Speaking of Randal they just added him back to the 25 man roster and also added Zach Duke & re-called Carson Kelly. Excited to see how Kelly does this year as he is the heir apparent to Yodier Molina. Last edited by cardsfan73; 07-21-2017 at 02:12 PM. |

They keep circulating the rumor that the Yankees might be interested in Stanton. I admit the thought of a Stanton / Judge line up is nuts but I would have to think the price would be steep. Plus you take on all that owed money.

I yawned about the Royals trade. However, this is their M.O. SP goes 5 innings, then the pen takes over. This approach may work for a year or two, but the pen is heavily taxed. A huge problem for KC is they don't have much in the farm to trade. So a big splash isn't likely to happen. KC needs to reel off a 15 game winning streak and get out of this 2 or 3 game behind the division leader, or tied up in a wildcard race. I believe they need to be sellers. NY would pay handsomely for Hosmer. Frazier in N.Y. is a huge mistake by Cashman in what was given up.

I understand your feeling about wanting them to be sellers. I feel the same way about the Cardinals this year. So many fans & local sports talking heads think this team still has a chance at the playoffs and I just don't see it. There are just so many flaws with the roster. Even if we could trade for the big bat we need (every one here wants Stanton, Stanton doesn't want us from reports I read!) that does not fix the horrible team defense and the miserable bullpen. I say sell the pending free agents for some prospects and pray that someone would be willing to take Matt Carpenter and his contract off your hands. Re-tool and bring up some of the kids. I have been watching Cardinal baseball since 1981 and other than the last few years that the brewery owned the team (and didn't give a rats ass about it) this is the worst Cardinal team I have ever seen. |
