Please Giants… get this done! If we can have Chen and one of Gordon/Heyward/Cespedes, I think it would be a solid off season!

It’s already been said they will only get a pitcher OR an outfielder, and that Bochy prefers the pitcher.
The Giants can probably manage with Blanco starting in left, and maybe give Parker or Williamson, maybe even Belt some chances to mix it up a little.
Or, they can trade for an OF. I’d rather them sign someone like Chen over signing an OF.

It’s an even year. The Giants can manage anything.

I hate when Giants fans say sign this pitcher AND Heyward. Like the dude could get 200mil, are you delusional?
McGlynn
They could afford both if they give heyward a Stanton-like contract. Back loaded with an opt out, but it seems unlikely.
mrnatewalter
It’s not just unlikely, it’s not going to happen. There’s no reason for Heyward to accept a deal like that. He’ll get a multitude of deals that carry way more money and have a better structure,
Stanton’s deal was structured to bring him through his arbitration years, and pay him a lot in his FA years… much like Brandon Crawford’s new deal.

i hope the giants sign heyward and gorden, then trade belt and pence to st louis

I’d love to see the Giants get Chen and Gordon but if they don’t get Gordon I feel that Heyward and Cespedes will be too rich for their blood. So they’ll pass on them.

Sign him, Mozeliak!
Fivehead
Sign him, Cardinals!

Cardinals need to get moving. Quit waiting around on Heyward get a pitcher and trade for CarGo. Cards need a quality starter that can go 200 innings and a impact middle of the order bat not a 6 hole hitter with no pop like Heyward.
johnnya
Amen!!!
Fivehead
Agreed. Love his D but watching him ground out to second gets old.
timyanks
st louis could get tim Lincecum and justin morneau for less than $80 million.
timyanks
and still sign alex gordon with the leftover money
Stromalama
Why would the Cards want Morneau? Adams and Moss would likely out produce him for a lot less.
timyanks
get rid of moss

This would be a good move for the Cardinals, you can never have enough pitching. Plus he’s a lefty and would slot nicely into the rotation. The longer Heyward goes unsigned the less likely the Cards get him I think. Sign Maeda as well. I’d rather have 2 good pitchers than 1 good outfielder. Any contract over 5 years starts to worry me unless it’s Yadi, give him a 20 year extension!
gojira15
So with Maeda they will start with a six-man rotation?

I’ve been saying all along that Chen would be the best fit for the Cardinals considering his price tag, and his resume. Would also allow them to sign a Alex Gordon or make a trade for Cargo and possible add a bullpen arm all for under the asking price for Heyward. Just do something MO..
