Might be stuck with Mikolas for a while yet. McGreevy is here and in the rotation but others who could be here are hurt at Memphis. Roby and Hence, who seem to always be hurt are hurt again and Matthews is as well. Need to get at least one of those guys healthy and pitching at Memphis before banishing the Lizard King to the back of the Pen. Leahy could maybe be a solution but he'd need some time to build up pitch count.
And the Rockies too?See Sox, Chicago White.
The Yankees just traded for a third baseman. I thought the intent was to move Jazz Chilsom to second. I agree Donovan should extract a high price.If Donovan gets traded, the other team would have to give up some pretty high level prospects to get it done. The pitching arms the Cards have available would be getting traded before I could see it happening with Donovan.
" philosophical differences " with pitch location.......................Shildt takes the pitcher out of the game with no one on base and one out away from qualifying for the win...![]()
Machado needs to be hit next inning. 1 pitch at Contreras face and another one that hits him.
Romero would probably love that, being from out here. He's been a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting much when we first picked him up. Would hate to see him go at this point, based on how he's developed and flourished as a Cardinal. He seems to fill a vital bullpen setup role that we've struggled to fill recently.been reported this morning of the Padres showing interest in JoJo Romero and Helsley stating a desire to return to the Cardinals this off season if he is traded at the deadline.................lot's of new rumors springing up as the deadline nears................
There's no chance Helsley plays for the Cards next season. He's going to be worth like $12-15MM/yr probably for a 4-5 yr deal on the open market. Maybe more. Tanner Scott got $72MM/4 (AAV $18MM). I see zero scenario in which the Cards field a competitive offer.As for Helsley, I think you have to try and get as much as possible for him and then see if you can afford to bring him back next year.
