No way do I trust Mo to make any trades. We could have had Soto for Dylan Carlson but Mo thought that was insane. Fuck making a trade. He’ll just fuck up shit more.

With the trade deadline almost here, the #STLCards front office may be handcuffed due to management
Per John Denton, Cardinals management has let the front office know that the club is ‘not positioned to take on significant salary in the coming years via trade.’ [Reply]
If they insist on wasting a GG caliber SS by playing him in CF (while hammering a DH into 2b) then they may as well trade him.
Edman's about half as valuable here as he would be in another organization since we're wasting his defensive value. If they can flip him for an asset they'll actually use - sure, why not?
Though I think we all know that they should be selling. Its an insane seller's market, the Cardinals continue to hover around .500 with no real path towards genuine post-season relevance (they don't have any arms to bring up in September that could steal them a playoff game or two) and they have assets like Helsley that will return some genuine prospect capital.
But the Cardinals, as is their custom, will do the stupid thing. Whatever options are available to them, they'll take the dumbest one. [Reply]

Do nothing or acquire a random average reliever? [Reply]
