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!

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.........................

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?

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.

I like the deadline trades

Moz was stuck in past refusing to trade inside division. The division means nothing with the new balanced schedule.

We have not been competitive with Brewers or Cubs since 2021 when we fired our manager for making playoffs 3 of 3 years and going on a 17 game winning streak in 2021 to make they playoffs. Schildt went on to lead the Padres to playoffs 2 of 2 years. Imagine if we had kept him in St. Louis.

Lars was fan favorite but due to injuries etc. never played to potential.
Dustin was rental but so injury prone we were lucky to trade him before he made his annual injury
JoJo is decent left reliever but was going to get expensive as FA.

We got

Dustin/Jo Joe : 2 great outfielders Frias and Ragsdale who were 11 and 13 in Brewers system but became Frias became 4 in Cardinals system Ragsdale 10. Shows how much stronger Brewers farm system is
Noot: 2 good pitchers Eagan Cardinals 17 and Santana Cardinals 22

Outfield is a major Cardinal weakness. We have Walker and ? Lars was not the answer.

I only wish they had traded Gorman too.
