They should just have Wong watch Tony Womack replay's over and over all offseason. Instead, I'm sure Robby Cano was the option of choice.
Yuck. |

Because if not, Mozeliak's out. Machado is Barneys. Mozeliak's more of a Target man. |

Whats sad is that he actually has some quick hands, if he'd try to be a gap player instead of a 25 HR guy, I think he'd be somewhat valuable. |

Nah, they'll give Mike Moustakas 20% more than he's worth for 20% too long and then claim they don't have a place to put Machado.

Machado is gonna be wearing Dodger blue in 2019. Gonzalez's contract ends in 2018 and they can just move Turner over to 1B. Even if the Cardinals wanted to I don't see them being in the ballpark of what its going to take to sign him.

I figure the Dodgers will be big Eric Hosmer bidders, and potentially Bryce but I've got him in pinstripes.

The Dodgers will be in on everyone. The amount of money they have on the books for 2019 right now is nothing. Pretty sure the only position player they even have signed for the 2019 season is Turner. Obviously guys like Seager will be there too, but...

I guess they could just swallow 1/2 of Turner's deal and move him outright - wouldn't be hard for them. I just can't believe they're able to spend like this with the debt service that came on a billion dollar purchase price. They're still blowing teams out of the water in an environment where teams like the Cardinals have had their teams paid for for years. It's crazy. And it's why Cards fans should be pretty disappointed if/when DeWitt decides to sell the team. When the folks that buy it also have to factor in the tens of millions they're spending every year for the right to own it, that's coming straight from their baseball ops budget. |

2b requires more flexibility than people realize. Not just the pivot but merely the act of catching, turning and throwing. I think it's harder on the body than playing 3b and by a fair amount. More of the game is played behind you or moving away from you at that point as well. That would be his age 33 season without having played a significant amount of 2b since 2011. Seems like a damn tough ask to me. I think that's why the Cardinals have finally given up on the idea of trying Carpenter at 2b even if it's far enough up the defensive spectrum to make him ridiculously valuable there if he's even adequate defensively. It might work, it's just not the way I'd go about it. |

Overpay for him then if they have to. Enough coming in 2nd. They've struck out on so many free agents then overpaid for shit, enough.

When will MLB rule on Luis Robert's free agency request?
