    “What did you think about the Carlos Martinez, Dakota Hudson, Matt Liberatore, and Tyler O’Neill proposal for Arenado?”
    That would be beyond insane from the Cardinals…even if he waived his opt out

      I am surprised it would include CMart and Hudson. They are both supposed to be in the rotation. Who steps up now? Ponce, Gomber? It’s too late to sign some of the options they could have had.

        STL current rotation is Flaherty-Mikolas-Hudson-Waino-Kim right now, so only Hudson would leave that.

        Reyes, Cabrera, Ponce, Gomber, plus whoever is out on the FA market would fill the spot. CMart is the closer as of right now, but again, getting Taijuan Walker for pretty much nothing would be an excellent move for STL to fill either role.

          Lol I could care less what roster resource says…I follow the cardinals religiously and they have stated that they want him in the rotation…that is were he is at his best…and it has been reported by reliable resources that say the cardinals want him in the rotation…not like the writer Levine says about the trade for Arenado lol…and yes only Levine has reported it

          Gallegos can take over the closer role until Hicks comes back to normal.
          I think the Cards are ok to deal CMart and Hudson. Carlos has had issues with health and I think his contract hurts too.

          They want him to show in Spring that he’s healthy enough for the rotation- right now they’re not counting on it.

          You should both care what Roster Resource says, but no one should take it as gospel either.

          I’m an Angel fan, does anyone think La Stella is the leadoff hitter second baseman?

          It’s pretty well known that the Cardinals want to use Martinez in the rotation. No one knows if Martinez is capable of being in the rotation. My guess is yes, but it’s just a guess.

          Lmao roster resource says C-Mart is a closer in January so that’s the only option. I will not listen to anything else. Jason Martinez has him listed as a closer; he must be a closer!

          That site is great for tracking 40 man rosters- specifically players option years and when they need to be added to the 40 man. Not for telling you what the plan is with Carlos Martinez in January. He ended last year as the closer—they probably didn’t even bother to update it with their closing situation in flux.

          In your proposed deal KC would be getting Montas but without a steady supply of PEDs, which made him valuable. So it wouldn’t work for KC.

    No fair! I keep asking the question “MLB will soon debut its 20,000 player. Will MLB or MLBTR mark the occasion?
    It’s mind boggling that almost 20,000 players have played in “the show” but only a few hundred have long careers and top 50 stats. Mind boggling!

    Hold on to Liberatore, sign Ozuna, forget about Arenado and Betts for the time being, revisit it during the season before the trade deadline. Playoffs a long way away and the Cards won’t have to give up as much as they would have to now.

      If Boston are out of contention by the mid season trade deadline the Cards might be able to rent Betts and only have to give up Liberatore.

        I see what you are saying and it’s a smart idea but I think the Cardinals want to build a team that last more than a season…they just traded for Goldy and you add Arenado that is a good team… then Arenado would be the leader to Carlson and Gorman

    Guys, to make these chats content a little better and more interesting…CAN WE PLEASE, stop asking about topics that have already been covered on a daily basis here in the articles..

    Let’s please try to be a little more original/intelligent with our questions, for everyone’s sake…

    Although, I honestly don’t know what is more troubling, the fact that a lot of people keep asking about uh t the same thing UK NHS chat after chat, or that each writer keeps answering the same questions over and over…lol

      Lol I get what your saying – it does get annoying . And then only part of the question gets answered on top of that or it will get a rhetorical response.
      But In their defense – it’s mostly because they are chasing the story (Or talking about what all the rumors for the day are), same as a news network does.

      So Heyward’s contract isn’t bad, but Cueto’s is? Cueto is potentially more valuable by far than Heyward is. SF would be stupid to take Heyward straight up for Cueto, because Cueto could bring back far more than Heyward at the deadline. There are teams that would like to have Cueto. Lol that any team would want Heyward.

      Completely agree. I wouldn’t trade Cueto for Heyward, either, but Mark’s assertion that Cueto would bring back prospects in a trade, to me, is completely wrong. The truth is, to unload the Cueto contract, SF would need to include cash and their own prospects.

      Could this change by the trade deadline if Cueto shows he can still pitch after the long injury history and the sub par showing before it? Sure. But it’s hardly a sure thing.

    Really, answering a question about the Blue Jays by using the numbers from a poll that was still running?? Over 50 % of Your Pollsters had Ryu going to other destinations than the Jays! The least you could do is give your own opinion to a question which is what most people are requesting not use some poll which the person who wrote the question no doubt already saw!!!
