GGajewski18 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Apparently Cardinals RHP Alex Reyes didn't pass his physical for ST and will not report to camp yet. Don't know what is wrong with him. If he is out, possible Q to Cardinals? Also, just creating discussion to think of different packages from a different team finally. I think I'd do Weaver, Bader, Kelly, and Perez for Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that would be a major blow to the Cardinals if he has to miss an extended period of time.

bmags Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 My gut reaction is to root against hte cardinals, but news like this sucks no matter the team. I'm hoping it's precaution over a physical issue that's minor, but be it if it's a significant injury, just sucks to see players hit issues like this right before they are about to make it. edit: clarified after more info came out indicating this is likely due to physical issue.

The only thing worse than wasting Q here would be settling for a lackluster return. This exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically could make Reyes available in a trade too. He is easily the most interesting piece in the Cardinals system. It's risky, but ceilings don't get much higher.

Obviously it depends on what the injury is, but if anyone knows how to rehab and subsequently keep pitchers healthy, it's the Sox. Who knows. The MRI results will be very important.

Making a trade including a guy who is hurt and hasn't even had his surgery yet seems WAY too risky for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Don't see Cards as a match at all. Outside of Reyes, they have no top 50 guys. Also can't see them unloading farm after losing their picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will likely just sign best available starter remaining (de la Rosa?) and plug him into the 5th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Use the Cards for leverage in a Pitt deal? Sucks the Cardinals dont have anymore top guys here, oh well. Losing Reyes sucks for them I can empathize with their fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm not so convinced that the Cardinals won't pursue Q. They've got arguably the top C prospect in baseball, plus Weaver and Perez. Kelly is close to Tucker in prospect status on a lot of lists. Magnerius Sierra, Bader, Sosa are also interesting. Even if they can't pull off a deal, them being involved could spur the Astros/Pirates/Braves to up their offers - ala the Nationals on Sale.

Sleepy Harold Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Jeff Passan @JeffPassan now There is significant concern inside the Cardinals' organization that Alex Reyes, their star pitching prospect, needs Tommy John surgery.

Maybe start dialogue around a Miguel Gonzalez or something. Agreed, makes more sense to re-evaluate at this point. Plus they have Wacha who was going to battle Reyes for this 5th spot in ST. They have 6 guys off the top of my head currently. Sign a cheap FA (not sure who is left) and see what you have in a couple of months.
