It's the same kind of 'aggressive' I get from my 4 year old when she wants to watch cartoons but didn't finish her dinner. The idea that I'm not on board with her suggestion is just a complete anathema and if I'd just listen to her wail long enough, surely I'll come around. |

"PUHLEEEAAAAASE" doesn't equal 'aggressive' Saxon, it equals desperate. But hey, Mozeliak's heard of Will Smith and Tony Watson before so of course that's where he's going. I'm fairly certain that this point that the Cardinals don't have a scouting department. I mean Jesus Christ, it's like they just pull up Yahoo's pre-season fantasy rankings from 4 seasons ago and make their shopping list from there. |

If you can give up Verdugo as the key piece for 3 years of Corey Kluber...what's the holdup? Is it the sub-optimal power that does it for them? Or the middling speed and defense? The guy is an AB sponge that won't actually produce much. If everything goes right he's what, Nick Markakis? Do the walks really give them that much of a hard-on? He could just as easily be Robbie Grossman. Every time the Dodgers end up in trade talks it's "We won't trade Alex Verdugo..." Aight - suit yourself. Kershaw's not getting any younger. |

I just dont understand why the Dodgers would look at 2 WS appearances and say we don't want to spend now. |

If you are looking for just a LOOGY I'm not sure why you wouldn't just sign Xavier Cedeno that was non tendered by the Brewers.

If a good baseball fan has to look the person up, that's not Moe's speed when it comes to acquiring bullpen help. Moe needs someone that can easily be the subject of a spring-training puff piece. Ideally someone that's been in the post-season and if they've pitched against us, all the better. Once Moe gets to his 90 projected wins, all he's worried about is ticket sales. Xavier Cedeno will sell precisely zero more tickets. Will Smith, OTOH, saved some games last year so Bernie and Goold can write articles about how the bullpen is saved now. That'll convince a few old timers to come out to the ballyard. I mean c'mon - we signed Greg Holland FFS. What makes you think this team knows ****-all about building a bullpen? |

Hey I'm not going to get in the Cardinals way if they want to give up a player and spend double what they would pay for nearly the same guy they could get in FA.
