Yeah, really hard to hate on this deal.  Now, go out and sign Bryce Harper.

Thats alot less than we were debating. A Catching Prospect that lost a ton of his value (whcih we have a replacement in the system for), a young arm that seemed to hit a wall last year (whihc our other young arms passed by), plus some extra. Id say thats a Phenomenal deal right there, even if it is only for one year right now.

Was the most we were getting out of Kelly in trade value at this point.

Is that even possible? I mean I’d hate to trade away assets for just one year of Goldy and I’m assuming Ozuna is gone after this year as well?

Yeah.  Depending on what kind of season Ozuna has, he could be gone.  But you trade Harper for Ozuna in a heartbeat.

That puts the Cardinals at $138M, but that doesn't include minimum salaries or any raises.  Probably somewhere around $150M or so.

Well of course but just hope we can resign one of Ozuna/Goldy after this year. Still don’t see us going after Harper now after this trade.

They're probably still a bat short.

3B Matt Carpenter
CF Harrison Bader
1B Paul Goldschmidt
SS Paul DeJong
LF Marcel Ozuna
C Yadier Molina
RF Tyler O'Neill
2B Kolten Wong

The Cardinals could probably clear some money if they sign Bryce Harper.  Use Tyler O'Neill or just eat Dexter Fowler's salary all together.
