As always, it depends on price. But as a RS, Glasnow is at the absolute top of my list. There are other guys available, but the length of their contracts make it feel riskier.
It makes some sense but I’d prefer someone with an additional year of control for them.
I was thinking both. They can make one longer term investment (YY, Monty, Nola, etc,), and one s/t guy via a smaller trade.
100 percent.
Glasnow for Ha-Seong Kim? (Assuming Wander Franco doesn’t play next season, obviously).
Wouldn’t Wander Franco have to be charged with a crime at some point if he were to not play next season?
Isn’t that what HBan22 meant by “Assuming”?
Response was to Jason
==========================
As was my response.
Cardinals love the Rays so Brendan Donovan for Glasnow.
A Glasnow trade wouldn’t be a shocker knowing how the Rays operate, especially when keeping him on the field has always been an issue.
They need him until July. He’s a trade candidate at the deadline IMO.
Him and Randy Arozarena are so similar in background, skillset, and ability and to watch both of them have a playoff run of torching the Astros notched in their belt has been fun to watch.
