December 14, 20178 yr Author Yeah I do think Cards are doing well for a final push, obviously sucks their Stanton trade didn't work out but if Fowler bounces back that's a real nice OF. If Dejong is legit that could be a fun offense.

What a nice move by both teams. If people hadn't heard, Piscotty's mom was diagnosed with ALS, so he asked to be traded closer to home so he can be near her.

December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 11:52 AM) They are but also this is shown to be a terrible market to blow it up in. Cardinals decided to push for one or two more years of contention instead of going for a rebuild. This is not an ideal year to rebuild, nor is next offseason with the best free agent class of the decade.

December 14, 20178 yr I don't think the Cardinals are anywhere near blowing it up. They pretty consistently put a good team on the field with a fairly steady stream of prospects in the minors. This is a good move by them too.

And they have plenty of money to spend when they want to. They're fine. Edited December 14, 20178 yr by Rowand44
December 14, 20178 yr Cards aren't blowing anything up. Player movement often helps to prevent the need. And hopefully the Sox don't have to blow the place up ever again.

The Cardinals are masters of finding prospects nobody has heard of and getting 3+ WAR seasons out of them in MLB
