Re: Offseason moves thread
True, Murphy would cost some prospects but Contreras is going to cost like 20 million a year if not more. If it comes down to the Cardinals trading for someone like Murphy and re-signing Jose Quintana or just signing Contreras I think I would go with option A.Bruiser Brody wrote: ↑October 10 22, 9:04 pmOh I’d prefer Murphy way over Contreras but he would cost prospects whereas WC would just be DeMoney. Anything is better than what StL had in that spot in the order this year though.JoeMcKim wrote: ↑October 10 22, 4:08 pmI think it might make more sense to go after Sean Murphy in a trade from the A's to be the Cardinals catcher next year. Murphy is a good hitter even though Willson Contreras might be better but Contreras defense and handling of the pitchers would be a drastic dropoff from Yadi.

I don't think that the Cards are going to invest a lot of money into SS knowing that Masyn Winn is right around the corner.

Re: Offseason moves thread
Interesting offseason coming up. I don't expect a big time move this winter. I feel they will bank on the young talent. Rotation will be filled out by a returning Waino or if he retires, Quintana for a 2 year 12.5 mil per year type of deal.

Re: Offseason moves thread
if we can land a Sean Murphy, it completely changes the lineup...
Donovan-2b
Carlson-CF
Goldy-1B
Arenado-3B
TON-LF
Murphy-C
Noot-RF
Edman-SS
that one piece seems to make the lineup so much more complete.
our SP wasn't the issue once we got Quintana and Montgomery, but I'd still like to have a Rodon-type instead of re-signing Quintana (and hope Waino retires)...but at the same time, more than anything I hope they finally learned their lesson....AGAIN....and not go with ONLY the injury risk 5 pitchers again to start the season, and have contingencies signed.

It’ll be months of Carlson happy talk. Just like DeJong last year.

Re: Offseason moves thread
I am OK re-signing Waino.
Rotation should be Mikolas, Flaherty, Montgomery, and Matz with room for one more starter.
Hudson and Liberatore would serve as 6 and 7.
Would also be OK with dealing Flaherty.

Forget about upgrading at SS. Not gonna happen, and nor should it happen. Tommy is fine there.
Catcher is the spot where we can use immediate help. That's where the money and or trade assets need to go.
