Can’t let go of the Edman trade | Zach Levenson is raw
My Cardinals Offseason Primer link.medium.com/tR3jue8VtNb In this write up I go through how the Cardinals can shed salary, what players may be on the move, and what the returns for them may look like.
The best piece we got in the 2023 sell off
RHP Matt Svanson has been recalled from Memphis (AAA). RHP Andre Granillo has been optioned to Memphis.
Reminder that Ohtani was still allowed to play while under investigation
BREAKING: Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of MLB's sports-betting investigation, sources tell ESPN. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher on leave tied to the investigation, joining right-hander Luis Ortiz.
Oh god no not service and salary!
On top of the myriad reasons this is bad news for the Cardinals, it creates a real roster mess. Both Roby and Robberse are on the 40-man but frozen taking up spots unless the big league team chooses to promote them, put them on the ML 60, and let them rack up service and salary.
I’m not blaming Mo for someone getting injured, but there’s is no reason he should be in charge of this deadline His 2023 sell off was a shitshow
#STLCards pitching prospect Tekoah Roby underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday and will likely not pitch until 2027, multiple sources tell The Athletic. More here with @keithlaw: nytimes.com/athletic/65201…
Let’s hope this sell off ends better than the last one

If I’m Cleveland I see no reason why I would accept any trade that doesn’t include 2/3 of Misiorowski, Made, or Peña Brewers also don’t entertain that either
Trade Proposal for Jose Ramirez: Who says no? • Copper Pratt (SS, #38 ovr prospect) • Logan Henderson (SP, #80 ovr prospect) • Brock Wilken (3B, 2023 1st rd pk for Mke) Cleveland receives a SS of the future in AA, a ML ready SP and a 3B replacement in Wilken (.942 OPS in AA)
Pedro Pages is apparently really good to work with the pitchers Well our starting rotation reeks so maybe we should change something up
If the Pirates get Cassie for Keller without eating any money put up Cherrington for POBO of the year
The #Cubs “desperately want another starter at the deadline” and are targeting #Pirates SP Mitch Keller, per @BNightengale Nightengale notes CHC is willing to include top-prospect OF Owen Caissie to get a deal done.
Steven Matz ➡️ Mariners Phil Maton ➡️ Blue Jays Ryan Helsley ➡️ Phillies Jojo Romero ➡️ Red Sox
Steven Matz ➡️? Phil Maton➡️? Ryan Helsley➡️? JoJo Romero➡️? The #STLCards have 4 relievers who could be moved at this year's deadline. Who are they, and where could they go? I made some predictions over on @FSRedbirdRants #ForTheLou Story: redbirdrants.com/finding-trade-…
The constant prospect hoarding and unwillingness to trade homegrown talent from this fanbase is exhausting. We aren’t going to be competitive for at least 2-3 more years. Donnie’s 28 with peak value right now, if the deal is there you take it
The trade Donovan at peak value crowd makes no sense to me. Do we want the #STLCards to be the Yankees or Dodgers AAAA team? Why are we afraid to pay a homegrown talent? Especially one who does so many things right.
Rockies fleece job
The Yankees have acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Rockies in exchange for two minor league pitchers, including left-hander Griffin Herring, a source confirms to ESPN. @Feinsand was on it first.

How the #STLCards handled Erick Fedde this year is just the latest in a long line of terrible, inexplicable decision making from the outgoing POBO. But where does it fall among other baffling sagas? @bschaeffer12’s thoughts inspired me to rank them: redbirdrants.com/ranking-the-10…
Luis Robert has a 165 wRC+ vs LHP and nobody is talking about it. The price to acquire him won’t be too high but will teams want to take on his money for a short side platoon bat?
With how much Boston loves 4-seamers Im surprised if they quickly rejected it lol they just can’t seem to help themselves
The #Padres are in a “never-ending quest to acquire [Jarren] Duran” and offered the #RedSox a package including SP Dylan Cease, C Ethan Salas and another prospect (not SS Leo de Vries) in exchange for Duran, which BOS “quickly rejected,” per @Sean_McAdam
$10 says next week he’s inducted into that hall of pretty good thing
BREAKING: Jesse Chavez announces his retirement from Major League Baseball. Congratulations on a great career, Jesse!
