Piscotty is also struggling this spring, but at the league minimum. If he busts he costs virtually nothing. Heyward has been trending down for years. We are lucky the baby bears wanted him.

What would we have to give up?
According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the Cardinals "have quietly showed interest" in White Sox starter Jose Quintana. Heyman notes that the Astros and Pirates have been the perceived frontrunners for Quintana, but he calls their pursuits of the left-handed ace "passive" up to this point. In his report Heyman then labels the Cardinals a "sleeper team," with the "combination of young players and prospects to make it work." The asking price is undoubtedly sky-high for Quintana, who boasts a 3.35 ERA over the last four seasons and a team-friendly contract that runs through 2020. He is currently projected to serve as the Opening Day starter for the rebuilding White Sox. |

p.s. Flying to STL tomorrow for my ninth Opening Day in the last 10 years! Let's hope for good weather and a Cardinals victory on Sunday night.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me to see the 'stros eventually decide to part with Bregman if needed. They'd surely do everything in their power to avoid it, but if they're sitting there in July and feel they're a legit top of the rotation starter away from putting some distance between themselves and Texas, I think they'll pull the trigger. They have the prospect depth to take the hit. At the very least they'd eventually give up Kyle Tucker and I can't see the Cardinals dabbling in that rich a pool. Unless Bader were to elevate his prospect status to at least within shouting distance of Tucker, I don't think they can pull it off. Even if Bader were to make that leap, the Astros would likely be able to include Martes with Tucker and where's that leave STL? Weaver and Bader doesn't get near that. |

Looks like a Yadi extension just got done with details still coming out. I dot have much perspective on the amount but nice to see him extended.
Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: Molina three-year extension with #STLCards will be between $55M and $65M. |

20 million per year for Yadi. That's a tough one to know which way to go on that one. |
