Sounds like Machado aint coming. 2-3 prospects worth more than potentially 1 year from a future HoFer. It's not like you have Ozuna locked up for a 5 year run here, Mo. I like the strategy. |

Mozeliak is right. Machado+ a comp pick is not worth that if he's on an express train to the Bronx come November 1.

Reyes, Kelly and a comp pick for one year? No thanks. We are not that desperate to win a title this year and give up on the next 4 years. |

I would give up Reyes in a heartbeat though. You are holding onto this belief that he is going to be a guaranteed ace or something. He's already blown up his arm and his command issues might land him in the bullpen his entire career. Plus, Reyes wont be getting any significant starting time til hes basically in his arbitration years. As it sits are the Cardinals going to be contending for the division by just adding Ozuna? They only have him under contract for 2 years and unless he fires Boras they aren't re-signing him before he hits the market. So if your belief is that the Cardinals wont be able to sign any star bats, what are they going to add in FA for the final year that Ozuna is with the Cardinals to win a WS? Guess you better hope they get something done with the Rays that costs their entire farm system. Last edited by jd1020; 12-18-2017 at 09:50 AM.. |

Just not all in for 2018. We could possibly get rid of Matheny in the off season. There is a ton of bats becoming available in the offseason next year. Save our prospects for next year instead of blowing them for a one year run. |

Would you take a .270, .345 OBP, 30 hr, 85 rbi guy at 3b next year that costs you 5 million a year?
That is what a full year of Jedd projects based on last year. Fowler Carpenter Pham Ozuna Gyorko DeJong Molina Wong That is stacked at the top with OBP guys that also have some pop, followed by some guys who have power to drive them in. I would rather start the season with that lineup than overpay for Longoria. |

Branch Rickey wannabe is proving each day what a fraud he is without Luhnow.
