They got a younger Luken Baker in Blaze Jordan so it’s not that surprising that they let him go
Letting Luken go and grabbing a decent LHP relief guy, hard to feel too strongly but I like it well enough.
Lol this was unexpected. Good for him, though, he was never going to get a shot here.
They’ll use Baker’s spot on the 40-man to protect another player from rule 5. Good move.
Thanks a lot Mo!!!
Incoming 40 homer season next year
Going to LA to hit 40 homers next year.
I know that the upside pn him is supposed to be significant, but in his few appearances, I haven’t been that impressed. Hopefully he’ll do well with the Dodgers.
He’s about to hit SO MANY DONGS!!
I was hoping we’d let him get a Chance else where. Just with a team he had an actual shot of getting playing time with.
30 HR season incoming
Baker will be 29 next year can’t play anything but first and had a sub 400 slugging as first baseman in AAA this year. He was awesome two years ago but I’ll be surprised if he goes Luke Voit on us.
Doesn’t look like the guy we picked up is any better but it doesn’t really matter.
Very surprising that everyone isn’t miserable about this considering that half of this subreddit was utterly convinced that Juan Yepez was going to turn into Albert Pujols as soon as someone gave him a real chance.

2023-2024 cardinals subreddit would be so pissed. I remember having to listen to so many of you say to bench Goldy for this guy
Good move to get rid of him. Opens up a lot of ABs at AAA for someone who we might actually have a spot for
If we are going to finally be honest with ourselves, that took way too long.
I wish Luken the best but it was time to move on.
Can’t wait for all the social media updates from the media when he does anything remotely good.
Wasn’t there rumblings about him going to Korea at one point. I feel like that would be a good move for him
It’s so surreal reading stuff about Luken when we used to play 2-hand touch football in the cul de sac when we were kids. Time flies man.
It’s fine we traded Steven Matz for Luken Baker pt. 2
Won’t miss. Looked inept at the plate
Always base my trade opinions off OOTP performance, and since baker just hit 34 hr in a season I see this as a mistake
Unfortunately the ship has sailed on Big Luken. Maybe he gets a shot in LA before he ends up as the guy you want on your team in local beer league softball.
