I'm honestly floored by this May/Romero deal.

According to MLB (whose even lower on Frias than Fangraphs), Frias slots into the Cardinals 4th best prospect position and Ragsdale to 10.

That is a remarkable piece of work by Bloom, and really just have to wonder how much more would Milwaukee even have had to give for Skubal?

Yeah surprising to me too. Particularly Herrera, who I really like, but there's a real risk his trade value will never be higher than it is right now.

Just feels like one of them are the DH bat. And Herrera's value as you pointed out + all the C depth, I'm not sure.

Perhaps the calculus is figure it out in the winter, and that might not be a bad idea. That seemed to work out for the Donovan trade.

Right as I type this, Burleson goes yard and Herrera walks right after him haha.

The St. Louis Cardinals managed to beat the buzzer and acquire veteran reliever Caleb Ferguson from the division rival Reds for $250,000 in international bonus pool money, per Jeff Passan.

Seems like a few teams might be kicking themselves for not trading for Burly I guess!

{ 56-57 }

THAT'S A WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....................

As the tensions of trade deadline day melting away the Cardinals jumped out to a 6-0 lead only to fall behind 7-6 but rally with a 7 run 8th inning to hammer a 13-7 victory on the Bronx Bombers.................

crazy stat , Cardinals had 5 homers since the All Star break and then hit 5 homers TONIGHT..............

Mr. Bloom needs to be commended for his astute trading value , but moreso his NOT trading Burleson.....I have said in the past that Burleson will compete for BA titles in the future and now he is maturing into a power hitter with 18 for the season and 6 rbi's tonight inches him closer to 80 for the year.........Burly should have been an All Star this year but I believe he will be one in the future........

It's been a good day..................it really really has.........................

It's an insane deal.

Frias is so far away and his range of outcomes is very wide, but his tools are potential super star tools (also could never make the majors, who knows, he's 18). Tearing up the complex league and then not completely falling on his face as an 18 year old in A ball is a good sign.

I'm pretty high on Ragsdale. If you look at his draft reports from last year, the knock was power. Well, he's shown crazy power in his first full pro season this year (higher k% but kept his high bb%) and has just laid waste to AA. Offense has been high across AA this year so this could just be a flash in the pan, but his profile reminds me of all those college mid round draft guys that needed a tweak that the Cardinals turned into good MLB players throughout the teens and aughts (Matt Carpenter, DeJong, Edman, Brendan Donovan).

Cardinals promote dynamic duo to Double-A ahead of trade deadline

Two prospects with big time potential are flying through the Cardinals system.
redbirdrants.com redbirdrants.com

lost in the trade deadline furor was these 2 future stars going up the ladder to AA Springfield........I'm expecting these 2 Cardinal players to be a major part of the next wave of core nucleus for a return to annual playoffs and the quest for WS # 12..................

I really really do..................

Seems like the Yankees have some system for pitch challenges. Their % on challenges yesterday is very high, by both batters and catchers.
