Why not go after a package for Rondon and Joc Pederson; give them Dickerson and some prospects. You get that power bat and a good starter.

Jordan Walker seems like the real deal and has a high ceiling. I like Masyn Winn as well but I would work very hard to keep Walker and use Winn as the prospect center piece. How close do you see these two as trade chips? Does Winn give the Nationals the same excitement as Walker?

Do you think the Brewer's trading Hater will make Mo think twice about making trades before the dead line because he might think we can overtake them now?

I understand why you would say that you would want one or two pitchers for this team given the season-long problems, but I wouldn't give up any of the Cardinals' top prospects for what's on the market. None of them are difference makers. The Cardinals should only spend their top assets for top talent or keep them and let them develop.

More than anything else I hope DeWitt’s biggest lesson from the next 27 hrs is when you have a chance to sign a hometown generational talent to a 3-year deal, even if it is uncomfortably expensive, and it costs ZERO prospects don’t be pound foolish. Scherzer solves so many concerns right now.

I was interested in how you read how DeWitt and the Cardinals management really think of Molina's "rehab summer vacation" from the team? Taking into consideration the Cardinals have gone out fo their way to work with him in making sure he remains a Cardinal for his career don't you think they are resentful how he clearly could've easily done his rehab in St. Louis, been with the team , mentored young catchers/and other young players who would have certainly benefited from his knowledge.

I keep seeing that the Cardinals are possibly going to get Soto at the cost of Carlson, Walker, Wynn and a couple of other prospects. I for one hope this is not the case. I know Soto is a hitting machine, both for average and power. But he pulls a plow on the base paths and his defense is suspect. If this trade happens, with Carlson gone, that means Edman moves to center, Soto right field, DeJong short stop and Gorman second. Edman has been elite defense up the middle, but only good in Center.
If the Cardinals are bound and determined to blow up the farm for a win now attitude, why not blow it up for what we really need. A top end starter, or two? I don't think we can afford both Montas and Soto. Thoughts?

Does MLB have restrictions on what stadium dimensions can be? I've always found it odd that the sport allows each team to structure their fields differently.

In your opinion will ONeill be here next season?

After 2019, the Cards traded Randy Arozarena. The reasons given for not playing him were that he was not good defensively. This despite the Cards were playing Jose Martinez in the OF who was terrible defensively. MO has said they don't want to repeat the same mistake by not giving a potentially promising player the right opportunity. This year Burleson has been killing it in AAA. He has not been given a chance. The reasons were roster management he is not good defensively. Yet, they played Yepez in the OF until he was hurt and he was terrible defensively. If Burleson is traded, how is his situation and handling different than the Arozarena situation? Is MO making the same mistake, not giving him a chance, he indicated he wanted to avoid in the future?

Cards offense is fine. Do not giveaway the farm for Soto. If the FO wants to part with multiple prospects then try to do a deal for Sandy Alcantara. The team cannot depend on Flaherty.
