Pineda goes down today. I hope that means the Yankees promote Chance Adams rather than complete a knee-jerk trade. At least Quintana is off the market. I did not want him.

I am ready for the Cardinals to not be a seller per say, but make some deals that put more focus on the future rather than the now. This is just isn't a very good baseball team this year and I think we burdened with a couple of bad contracts. I was not a fan of the Fowler signing in the off season as he has shown not to be very durable. He has only played a 140+ games in a season twice. That and he really was not much of a defensive upgrade. Seems like a good guy and a great character guy for the club house though. He is signed at $16,500,000 per year through 2021. I fear this signing is going to end up looking like the Jhonny Peralta deal deal were we got 2 years of solid production but the final 2 years we didn't get squat & gave him the ol' DFA. Hopefully they can get something for Lynn, Oh & Rosenthal as they all are free agents at the end of the year. If not maybe give Lynn a qualifying offer and see if we can at least end up with a draft pick out of it. I would have no issues with them dealing some of the veterans (Wainwright, Carpenter, Cecil etc) if we could fleece some desperate contenders GM for some serious hitting prospects. Feel like the team is loaded with Pitching prospects but I really don't see an impact 3-4 hole hitter in the system at this time. I am hoping we don't part with any of the kids as they have been the lone bright spot so far this season. Last edited by cardsfan73; 07-14-2017 at 09:26 PM. |

There are rumors the Astros are trying to trade for Jacob de Grom, if the Mets consider this and don't get Springer or Correa in return, Alderson should be fired.

a package built around Kyle Tucker should make you happy, that guy is going to be a star.

Question for Pirates fans...
Is your organization still interested in moving McCutchen? Would they be interested in trading Cole and McCutchen to my Indians?

If the Mets could swing a de Grom for Bregman trade I think that would be pretty good for them.

KC getting hammered by detroit. 6-0, third inning. My Royals are on their way to 1-3 after the break, yet they believe they're in it. Just wait, KC will hang around just close enough to contend, and miss. We'll be left with NOTHING once Hosmer, Cain, and moose leave. KC needs to pull the trigger and get something. Vargas has great value for now, but another shelling and his value drops badly. Nice, Hosmer just swung for a ball outside and in the dirt.
DON'T GET ME STARTED!

It appears the oft injured Greg Bird is dealing with an injury AGAIN, and will have ankle surgery.
I expect to see Hosmer in pinstripes in 2018, if not sooner. Cashman loves Bird, but Bird can't stay on the field to make a difference, and !B play for NY has been horrible this season. No way does Boston trade for Frazier. Deavers is tearing it up, and will be in the show soon. They have to play the kid. He's better than any option the Sox have.

As for McCutchen, I'm not so sure that they can sell that one to the fan base (or his teammates) now. Last offseason, maybe. They're still in the thick of a pennant race in a seemingly winnable division, they just got Marte back, and Cutch has been on fire for two months, not to mention he's the face of the franchise, and a great guy.

I am a little annoyed by the recent Sports reporting narrative which seems to constantly drive home the idea that all pro teams need to either be sure they're going to win it all, or race as fast to the bottom as they can in order to rebuild.
Hell, I keep on reading how Lebron should just leave Cleveland again because there's no way the Cavaliers can surround him with enough pieces to beat Golden State. Ridiculous! Yeah, like 30 other teams and every player on each one of those teams should feel the same way..... |

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?
