I don't know that Kelly would hold th value with the Os that he would with most teams. He and chance sisco aren't all that different.
Still, the Cardinals are one of the few teams that have the pitching to be able to not only make he Machado deal but also live with it. Question: did Mozeliak use lube with Jeter? Or at least some hair goop? Whale of a trade for Ozuna. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im pretty sure Jeter's one night stand gift bag is worth more than what he is getting back in these trades.

But the rumors are that the Orioles are looking for less than I'd probably offer anyway. Evidently 2 pitchers that can start this season and are controlled past this year plus an OFer. I mean...Weaver, Wacha and Grichuk fits that bill. This just seems to be falling right into STL's wheelhouse.

Stanton and Ozuna were both under control past this season. Machado isn't. |

You can at least rule out the Yankees on Machado. No way the Orioles GM trades him to those assholes. I wouldn’t count on the Sox having much of a shot either.

In the past I thought our baseball loving fans, history and track record of producing winners would sell itself to FA's. All we had to do was get in the neighborhood of what other teams were offering and we could close the deal. I was confident that this would occurr with Holiday. And it did. Now, with Meathead in charge, I don't think we can get the same FA's as we once did. Marchado is going to be able to go wherever he wants to go. I just don't feel confident in the resigning to give up so much for one year.

Dan LeBatard really hit the nail on the head with this ownership group. MLB wanted to gift a franchise to Jeter, who didn't have the money, and now he's part of an ownership group that can't afford the debt service for a team w/ a publicly-funded stadium, so they're having a crackhead garage sale, selling their furniture and electronics for a hit of rock, yet Jeter is paying himself the same salary as Brian ****ing Cashman. The Miami taxpayers get absolutely rat****ed in this deal, and what few Marlins fans there are get their hearts torn out again.
Baseball, Loria, and Jeter pulled a pump-and-dump scheme with a professional sports franchise on a major American city.

I'd risk it. Machado is going to the HoF and hes just entering his prime. If we don't make the trade, he won't be a Cardinal. If we do, there's a solid chance he's wearing a redbird cap on his plaque. Gotta be a gambler, Moe. This is big boy baseball.
