Hoping the team dumps off obvious guys like Oh at the deadline but getting that nothing going to happen feeling from only being 4 games out even though no chance in hell to overtake brewers and cubs.

Goold says he does not think the Cardinals are interested in trading Lynn anymore.
Because of course they aren't.
Mozeliak sees the kids on this team pushing the team to wins and thinks "well clearly that means I have to hold onto my veterans and make a playoff push..."
As though the veterans are winning shit for this squad.
Trade every single person on this roster older than 28 and you'd have ONE guy lost that actually stings - Tommy Pham. The rest could easily be replaced by minor league reinforcements and we wouldn't be any worse off.

Shit. I'm wrong. We don't have a backup catcher under the age of 28 who's as good as Eric Fryer. Then again, it is Eric Fryer we're talking about here so surely Andrew Knizner could come up from Springfield and never get a hit while not embarrassing himself defensively.
This team is
maybe 5 games worse than the shit-show we run out there nightly. Maybe. It could just as easily be 5 games better. It's too RH heavy so that's a bit of an issue. At some point when Mozeliak kept acquiring the same type of player, he forgot to find any of them that hit lefthanded.
The bottom line is that there's no reason not to sell off - apart from Pham, the team wouldn't be any worse anyway. Or at least not enough to matter; it would go from an also-ran to a slightly worse also-ran. It wouldn't suddenly be a 100 loss club or anything. Carson Kelly might actually wee himself at some point without Molina around but otherwise we'd be just fine.
Mozeliak ****ing sucks at his job.
