[QUOTE="Illwinsagain, post: 1504133, member: 17817"] I saw this yesterday, and don't really like the trade. Folks are going crazy about how bad the Fowler contract is, it appears that the Eovaldi contract is a year longer and worse. I like Edman (I think everyone does), and I don't think that the Cards would sign Betts long term. If the Cards did want to sign Betts and felt that they could really pull it off, without Eovaldi, I would like it much better. The 2020 payroll would be largest ever, 2021 would likely be over the luxury tax (if they sign Betts), but then Carp and Fowler come off the payroll the following year. And Molina should be done by then, so 2022 would likely be a more normal Cards payroll, even with $30+M for Betts. [/QUOTE]
