As I stated last year when you wanted Conforto who was struggling: cost controlled bats are nearly impossible to find. Harder than pitching

In the offseason, it might take that much, yes.
But in July, the Astros could see him as a missing piece (and I think they'd be right). Look at the Chapman deal. You have to catch the right team at the right time.
Oh, and the Cardinals should also trade Fowler back to the Cubs. Eat $40 million of that deal and see if you can get Eloy Jimenez from them. I don't even give a shit - I hate hate HATE watching Dexter Fowler play outfield. What a disinterested bum.
But the Cubs need a leadoff hitter. This Rizzo at leadoff thing is cute but it's hampering their ceiling.
