From Katie Woo and Jeff Passan so should be solid info
With the trade deadline quickly approaching, we got some new info today The #STLCards* plan to hold onto Tyler O’Neill at the deadline, per Katie Woo On the other hand, St. Louis is telling teams they plan to move Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty, Paul DeJong, and perhaps Jordan Hicks, according to Jeff Passan |

For everything he isn't offensively, he's an ELITE defensive LFer. I mean very probably the best in baseball out there. And it's noticeable. I don't know how anyone can watch Walker stumble-**** his way through RF and seemingly cost us a game every week by not making routine catches and then say O'Neill has NO value. He does - when he's available. I don't mind holding him. His value is low but it doesn't have to be. If he can stay on the field and play good ball for the next 2 months, he can get a decent return in the off-season. |

Winn's forced the issue and has earned a chance, IMO. The defense is easily big league caliber and if he can continue to get his hands around on inside pitches to keep pitchers from just busting him up inside, he can be a solid hitter as well. Just that little extra pull power is really important for a guy like him because it will help keep pitchers middle/away and allow him to slap/run or spray liners to maximize his speed. Otherwise they'll just saw him off. I'm not 100% sure he's ready - but I believe he's earned the look. Paul DeJong sure as shit hasn't done anything to own the job. |

And his swing is still a little loopy, but not bad. His hands are awfully quick so that'll help. Bottom line is that I don't expect him to set the world on fire offensively, but I think he'll be playable while being an enormous asset defensively. |

If they aren't willing to burn it down, why not see if you can get the Mets to part with Scherzer for next year? He's not what he was, but he's a legitimate playoff starter.

Damn some drama in the first inning. Mikolas gets tossed for hitting Happ for defending Conteras getting knocked out of the game by a bat.
