Rosenthal: Enough caution. Cardinals need to consider bold action at trade deadline.

just be sellers – bold enough for me
Remember we are not tearing down the team. Only make slight incremental changes. No Cardinal will be harmed.
I’ll take “stuff that won’t happen” for 500, Alex
I can sense a big move now … a real blockbuster like maybe Knizner & Woodford for a lefty middle reliever.
I said in a comment a few weeks ago – something needs to happen. It needs to be someone (coaching staff or player) that the players care about or defend. The team has talent and the players know it. They need to know that their actions actually have repercussions.
Maybe a shake up will force the clubhouse to pick a new leader to rally the team. Something. Anything. Waino quitting twitter isn’t a great sign of a healthy clubhouse either way.
Paywall
I don’t get these takes on trading godly and arenado. You won’t get return that even closely mimics what they can do for the next couple seasons. Cardinals ownership and MO need to quit being tightwads with the money for a couple seasons while they try to figure this out. You are about to finish 2nd or 3rd in tickets again. You spent at the 16th highest rate which is pathetic. And you are currently paying the 10th most per win because of it. The cardinals should be figuring out who they decided isn’t progressing and ditch them. And target big money on off-season while you wait for the next 2-5 players to come thru the system. You have a catcher coming up and a possible couple arms but they are a couple years out.
They considered it and dismissed it. I think we are open for business on O’Neill, Yepez, and Burleson. I could see a couple of bullpen arms like Stratton and VerHagen going. I’d be surprised if they trade Jack and Gumby, but they should probably take what they can get. I don’t see any trades that bring back the young controlled pitching everyone is asking for, but maybe I’ll be wrong.
