Thought we were going to go a whole day without a Cubs notification, think again!

I am think Mozeliak is blowing smoke and the Cards are looking for a starter. I was under the impression that labrum issues in shoulders like Garcia’s are a little harder to fix than 4-6 weeks off from throwing. He’d better be worried about picking up 1-2 good relievers as well.

With Joe Kelly’s emergence a starter is not necessary. The Cardinals have unbelievable starting pitching the last 3-4 weeks, and there is no reason to think that will stop. Our bullpen has also gotten better in the second half, though I agree we need a piece or 2. Broxton would be great if we don’t have to trade within our top 7 prospects.
Marte/Boggs/Broxton/Motte would be a killer 6/7/8/9.

I agree. Honestly, the rotation has been fine. Kelley has done a pretty darn good job in the 5th spot, in my opinion.
If ya ask me, add someone in the BP and maybe a veteran presence off the bench. Matt Adams should/could bring back a good player (if Alan Craig is going to be the 1st baseman in the near future). Brox would be nice. How ’bout Adams, Greene and pick(s) to Oakland for Balfour & Weeks?

IMO I wouldn’t trade Matt Adams for a reliever. This kid is gonna mash when he comes up for good. Plus, I see him being the 1st base of the future with Craig in right and Taveras in Center. I know reports say he’s better suited to be a RF but I think OT could be serviceable in center.
I like the idea of Grant Balfur though trading Matt Adams for him would be a big overpay IMO.

There’s no need to deal for Weeks because Wong should be up in the majors next year. Balfour though id be all for trading for. A 7th-8th-9th of Balfour, Boggs and Motte would be legit
