If that happened I would tow a 155mm Howitzer to the outskirts of Cooperstown and shell that ****ing building to oblivion.

Y'all know how many GMs are in the Hall of Fame?
4. Four. Branch Rickey, Larry MacPhail, Ed Barrow, George Weiss... And John Mozeliak. Yeah - that checks out. John Mozeliak: First GM elected to the Hall of fame in 50 years. He's been THAT great. That's the dumbest thing I've seen on the internet in awhile. |

Sean McAdam saying two prospects.
Lame. If we got two of them, they'll both be mediocre as hell. Organizational chaff. Probably a similar return to the Flaherty pile of scraps. |

Promising bullpen guy seems really goddamned generous description of Robertson. You could probably put the population of your average Santo Domingo restaurant inside a huge claw machine and randomly pick out someone as talented as Santos.
If that's all you're getting there is no point to trade him. |

Robertson's stuff checks out; scouting report looks solid. Mid-90s fastball with life; good breaking pitch. Might actually be something there.
I wouldn't have bothered with the bus fare for Santos, OTOH. But that's how Mozeliak drives a hard bargain. "We want Houck" "We'll give you Robertson" "Nah, I need more than that" {Boston GM throws dart} -- "How about Victor Santana...I mean, Santos. Yeah, that's the guy. You'll love him." "SOLD!" This is why Mozeliak always has these deals with 3 fringe guys instead of a good one. He doesn't know who's worth a shit. So more is better; it's a chance to get lucky. Then when he stumbles ass backwards into a Genesis Cabrera or Juan Yepez, he pisses away their value, holds them too long and dumps them for scraps. He's just really shitty at his job. |

The Cardinals used to be the team that turned talented reclamation projects into quality players. Now, they trade the reclamation projects away.

That’s the difference between having a GOAT coaching staff and a bunch of jabronis

Saw this exciting news on mlbtraderumors earlier. Always in a hurry to hand out an extension for declining years.
In a chat today with readers, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals will approach first baseman Paul Goldschmidt at some point this offseason with the hope of discussing a contract extension. He says the club prefers to get a deal done before the start of the season but that they will leave the door open for in-season discussions. He adds that neither side expects the conversation to be contentious and the club believes they can extend him through the remainder of his career. |
