holt_bruce81 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Well we knew Piscotty wouldn't be involved. I'm guessing it's one of Flaherty or Hudson and Bader. Edited December 13, 2017 by holt_bruce81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think this trade has anything to do with how the Cardinals feel about Piscotty the player. That's pretty terrible. Hopefully its just a fair trade across the board for both sides.

I might be in the Minority, but I want no part of him. No way we sign him at the end of the season, and he isn't worth any of our top guys.

No way they should make a trade though without a deal in place for a new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured there'd be at least one OF heading to MIA in that deal, and it apparently isn't Grichuk or Piscotty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't the Cardinals are willing to match what the Orioles would want in return for him, and the Cardinals aren't about to overpay for a rental.

The only thing I saw was a brief note in one of Goold's articles that they met with BAL to see if they could meet BAL's asking price. Sounds to me like a preliminary discussion - not anything of substance. I'm with you about overpaying for a rental. They've explicitly said that a deal for a player with one year left is not their preference. I think the odds that BAL's asking price being low enough for us to be comfortable with it are very low.

If they're going to deal for a rental, it's going to be Josh Donaldson. But the Blue Jays seem to be resisting the idea of rebuilding and are going to try and make a contender in the AL East.

holt_bruce81 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Now, I'm ok with trading for longoria. Before the Ozuna trade, I didn't want Longo to be the teams "big bat" they been talking about. But now, if we can add Longoria to this lineup and move Gyorko back to that super sub role...This team looks pretty impressive 1. Matt Carpenter 1B 2. Dexter Fowler LF 3. Tommy Pham CF 4. Marcell Ozuna RF 5. Paul Dejong SS 6. Evan Longoria 3B 7. Yadier Molina C 8. Kolton Wong 2B Bench: Jose Martinez Carson Kelly Randall Grichuk Jed Gyorko Greg Garcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if we ended up with either Donaldson or Machado. I think they're both most likely to stay with their current club into next season, and I seriously doubt we'd be willing to give up enough to convince their teams to deal them to us.

If you added him with Ozuna, that makes our middle of the order significantly more impressive. Not sure you have your lineup correct though. Most likely would be: 1B Matt Carpenter CF Tommy Pham LF Marcel Ozuma 3B Evan Longoria RF Dexter Fowler SS Paul DeJong C Yadier Molina 2B Kolten Wong Although, I'd LOVE to figure out a way to get Manny Machado into that lineup. Slot him in that 3rd hole and knock everyone else down one. Just dreaming though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
