Here is the new prospects list for the cards after the trades yesterday. A lot of pitchers on there but am not sure if the overall quality of this pipeline. Anyone know if there are a few gems in there that can hurl it?
I don't know much about the minor league prospects but my guess is, NO. The number of major league pitches that can hurl it is a fairly small group. For St Louis to have "a few gems" in their system would be pretty amazing. Tink Hence is their top prospect and he needs more work before he would be considered a potential ace. Gordon Graceffo is the next best but is clearly not as solid of a prospect. Reading his bio he appears to be a SP2 at best. More likely a SP3

If you're talking about ROR, that one didn't surprise me to be honest.
Me either
Local management for Cardinals/Blues always spin it that there is a chance to bring them back if in the budget. Hicks can make some major $$$ if he performs even halfway decent the rest of the season.

You're right, Scott is a few years away and, unless we trade/give up on a few outfielders, its going to be a crowded place. Kids like that standout
in their short time here in Peoria.

Cardinals trade slugging shortstop Paul DeJong to Toronto as deadline nears
All-Star shortstop is the third Cardinals player traded to Toronto in the past week.
The Cardinals plan to have Tommy Edman back in the lineup Tuesday night as the switch-hitter returns from the injury list. Initially penciled in at designated hitter, Edman could also be the team's shortstop in the coming days.
The team is also discussing promoting prospect Masyn Winn from Class AAA, though doing so later in this month would preserve his rookie status for 2024.
DeJong was not coming back after this season....writing on the wall for awhile. Be surprised if the prospect in the trade does anything but a win/win for both teams. Injury insurance for Blue Jays and Cardinals don't have to pay buyout after the season on DeJong.
Building for next season now....adding prospects and dropping payroll for offseason moves. Cardinals will need pitching help and will acquire through free agency/trades.
pitching was the jist of my comment. not sure any of those AA pitchers are ready for the bigs.
cant wait for the arenado, winn, edman, goldy infield! Wait, they'll stick Gorman in there instead of DH'ing him.Cardinals trade slugging shortstop Paul DeJong to Toronto as deadline nears

No AA pitcher is ready for the bigs....ever. Maybe in Bull Durham or Major League lol
Going off your other comment. It will be interesting to see what happens with Contreras over the next season or two. He is a liability in the field with above average bat. Donovan can't throw so he is stuck at DH if in the lineup for the foreseeable future this season.
Cardinals definitely have some moves to make this offseason with logjam at multiple positions. Crowded infield/outfield and someone is going bye bye if not now than after the season is over. Nootbaar/Walker are staying.....TON, Carlson or Burleson will get moved sometime. We have way too many pitching holes to keep average/above average talent around sitting on the pine.
Eury Perez would like a word
Touche....also talking about a top 10 prospect in baseball in AA for some reason instead of AAA.
Many moons ago I mentioned the Marlins for a possibility as trade bait for pitcher. Never mentioned a name but he was the guy the Cardinals were eying before he took off this season.
I know there is much rejoicing among Cardinal fans. I'm glad he had a bounce back season. Good for him and it also helped bump his value. Dumping him in the past 2-3 seasons like some wanted would not have gotten them Svanson. It looks like 2023 has been his best year. Hopefully he is putting it all together.
I would like to see StL go after a top starting pitcher. It seems like they flame out every time they make the big investment. I know pitching is tricky. The CY winner one year might be a bust the next and we are stuck counting the years until it is feasible to dump him.
There is no reason for them to promote Winn before the cutoff. Bring him up when it doesn't cost him a chance to earn recognition in 2024.Cardinals trade slugging shortstop Paul DeJong to Toronto as deadline nears

I know what you mean but this did make me laugh. Their payroll is #17. They are more than $10 mil below the league average. Still if they are maneuvering to go after a big fish on the FA market having more room is a good thing.
