When the Royals guys who watch enough Cardinals game to know what they got is saying go for it with Soto. And if Jordan ****ing Walker is the hold up over Juan Soto, the Cardinals are just dumb ****s.

That’s a perfect example why trading for Soto using prospects is a no-brainer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

From the Woo article on the Athletic:
Frankie Montas, on the other hand, is gathering interest from the Cardinals, as The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday. It’s believed that acquiring Montas, who has made 19 starts for Oakland with a 3.18 ERA and 109 strikeouts over 104 2/3 innings, would require at least two top prospects and potentially a currently rostered player with substantial team control remaining. It’s worth repeating that if Montas’ asking price is so high, wouldn’t it make more sense for the Cardinals to be all in on Soto, and look for smaller, incremental upgrades to their pitching staff? |

The Cardinals will give up 80% as much as it would take to land Soto and get 60% as much value from him.
It's just Mozeliak's way. |

It’s Nightengale so a gain of salt is needed

I'm a Cubs fan, but my God they and their TV network have really taken a toll on my fandom. I mostly watch west coast BB at night, going to a Giants Padres game in SD in a couple weeks.
Anyway, it feels so ****ing strange for me to be rooting for the Cardinals to land Soto, not sure you could swing both, but getting Soto and Montas/Lopez would be just about perfect. Wonder if the Cards might be a good fit for an Astro's SP since they are looking to shed some arms. |

Cubs are going to suck ass for at least another year anyways, especially if they are going to cry poor and signing Correa at 27 years old would have been a set back while being the only ****ing team that would have been bidding for him since everyone else made their move. |

Nightengale's inability to be right even by accident is truly spectacular. |
