Boopa1219 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Nicely done by the Cardinals. Glad that Piscotty can be closer to home now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

steveno89 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 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, 2017 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cardinals are masters of finding prospects nobody has heard of and getting 3+ WAR seasons out of them in MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
