Pearce to the Jays for 2/$12.5 million.
That's a guy I would have liked to have and very affordable.

I don't buy it. Wong isn't enough as the primary piece for either guy by himself unless Weaver and Flaherty are the prospects. As a package deal, the Cards would have to empty out the farm system. Quote:

Didn't we flip shit last off season....and the one before that about Glass being tight and not signing much of anyone?
I am fine with moving Davis for some prospects. He's easily replaced by Herrera IMO. Other than that, I don't think you move anyone unless it's an insane hall. Davis should bring a MLB ready bat for somewhere in the lineup, along with some arms.

The Cardinals don't have 'a helluva haul prospect wise' to offer. I mean sure, they could move Reyes, but they're not going to for two pending FAs. He has way too much value. And the drop from Reyes is just too steep. Wong, as you know, sucks bawls. And if we included our #2 and #3 prospects with him, that's Weaver and Bader. Now I like both of those guys, but you're looking at a 4th starter with good #3 upside (too small to be more than that) and a likely 4th OFer with plus power potential. In an absolutely ideal world, Bader turns into a 25 HR outfielder who probably puts up a triple slash of .265/.315/.485 but that's a pretty tough row to hoe given his plate discipline. He's capable of playing an above average CF but nothing outstanding. If you have an above average CFer with an .800 OPS and that kind of power potential, you're looking at a fringe all-star level player. But let's be honest - there's a 20% shot at that? Probably less. 12 total years of those guys plus another 4 of Wong...16 years of control vs. 2 is obviously something that Moore would find attractive, but for those two players I would think Moore could do a little better. I suspect there's not much to it.

I have a feeling that a lot of this is other teams' GMs knowing what the Royals situation is, and trying to leverage it through the press.

Mozeliak doesn't work through the press at all. None of his trades over the last several years were reported at all, they just happened. Using the press for leverage was a Jocketty thing but Mozeliak doesn't work like that.

Sux wave white (sox) flag quite early. 1 down, and Twinks will suck balls.
Why wouldn't we go out in a blaze of glory? Eff 2018 |

Saw that the Cubs are interested in Wade and Duffy....Schwarber in play here esp. if we're talking Duffy?

Not a chance with all the control years the Cubs have on Schwarber and what they are paying him.

@ChrisCotillo: Industry buzz tonight is that the Royals could be looking to trade Lorenzo Cain and Wade Davis as part of a package deal.
