I wouldn't mind to give up some decent prospects for it either. We're crazy to think our rotation is set and can be a strength with the current makeup. A 1-2 punch of Archer and Martinez would remedy this. Giving up Kelly and Flaherty plus O'Neil/Bader/Mags would be fine. I'm not sure that would be enough, though. If we were to get Archer, I would think that the package in return would START with Weaver & Kelly, plus a good amount more. I also think that if you are getting the deal that Archer's contract is, you probably have to take on the rest f Longoria's deal. How about this Mega deal? Cardinals receive Chris Archer - SP Evan Longoria - 3B Alex Colome - RP Rays receive Luke Weaver - SP Carson Kelly - C Kolten Wong - 2B Randall Grichuck - OF Sandy Alcantara - SP Tyler O'Neill - OF Austin Gomber - SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Couple of updates today from WM on Ozuna: -We're the 'favorites' to land him currently (as we should be given our already aligned dealings w/ the Marlins w/ Stanton fiasco), nothing imminent though yet. -Apparently Marlins want team getting Ozuna to take Tazawa and his contract as well...

Maybe we can sweeten the deal a bit and take Ziegler instead. He may suck too but at least he has a cool delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longoria doesn’t really do it for me. He’d be a nice piece to have but only if we got a true MOTO as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 My guess is the Cardinals prefer Ziegler to Tazawa, but wouldn't stop the deal on this one alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttmikeb Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Fwiw, Colome apparently said that he had gotten some nice messages from those accounts so he decided to give them a follow. Maybe it's nothing, but it still seems like more than a coincidence that a Rays player would all of a sudden follow 4 Cardinals-related accounts.

MOSteelers56 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I wonder if we'd still try to get Nicasio back if we get Colome? I'd be all for it but it seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he only follows 23 accounts period lol. Where there's smoke there's fire (hopefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we get Colome the Nicasio market has probably sailed for us, unless he's somehow still sitting there later into the off-season and he can be had reasonably cheap...

Agreed. I certainly wouldn't mind bringing him back. Gregerson > Nicasio > Colome would be really nice, but I sort of doubt we'll be investing that much money into the bullpen. But like you said, if Nicasio's somehow still available late (which probably means cheaper), then I'd be all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 For what it's worth, Dave Cameron at Fangraphs says he's hearing and fully expects Marcell Ozuna deal w/ Cards to be announced today. He gives no basis to this though lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
