22 comments

1. How do you feel about the Cardinals trading Willson Contreras to Boston?

2. Ok I think they should of got some starting pitcher and depth in the offense that is in the MLB.

3. Cooper Hjerpe left- hander out of the pen? Tink Hence right-hander out of the pen? I'm glad we are finally trading

4. I’m not a fan

5. Hoped we would not see the last 3 pieces traded until the trade deadline in 2026 and aquire a tested, experienced pitcher or a good triple A pitcher Might as well trade them all now and start from the bottom in 2027. I expect Cards to be embarrassing now. I can hope not though. Oli may show some magic? Yeah, I'm dreaming.

6. Willson Contreras is a hot head thank gosh he’s off our hands that not how cardinals players should be acting

7. Threw his own bat at his own coach etc that will always be a cubs player not a cardinal in my eyes

8. The miracle was prime Verlander and Nolan Ryan lol

9. First of all I'm also a STL Card / GB Packer fan. Saturday night sucked. Let's begin with Tyler O"Neill. Traded to Boston for 2 pitcher's. Both washed out as Cardinals. He signs with Baltimore for Life time money. Matz, a sometime starter goes to Boston for a young ss. Gray is traded to Boston for two questionable arms and 20 million dollars. Contreras is traded to Boston for three right handed pitchers and another eight million dollars. Nearly 30 million dollars and sending two starters to Boston for questionable players. I'm happy stl kept Burleson but who knows with Bloom?

10. Pitching and a coaching staff that knows what they are doing. So I guess they are going after players this year and coaching next. Should have just done it they same year and been done with it.

11. All pitchers are injury prone lol

12. The Wilson Conraras Deal doesn't thrillme right now. Why do we keep getting Pitching?

13. Man I absolutely HATED hearing the Willson news last night. I understood why it was done, but I still hated it. That's a whole lotta fun and excitement that just got moved to Boston. I do like that Chaim is going after pitching, and LOADS of it, but losing Willy stings. It'll be the same feeling if Donnie gets moved. I'll understand it, but it's gonna suck big time. Hopefully the additions to the staff will help ensure that we actually do get a high quality MLB pitcher or two out of it instead of just striking out on all the prospects they're bringing in.
    It's gonna be a bleak couple of years watching the big club. Gonna hafta watch MiLB games for some excitement.

14. Rebuilds can be long an painful.
    MrBloom is off to a strong start.

15. This trade was a horrible one.

16. I don’t think the trades are horrible,getting young pitchers with decent upside, just no more trades with Boston

17. Why is it that when the Dodgers trade away players just like Gray and Contreras, they actually get someone healthy and immediately useful in return on the trade?
    But StL doesn't, anymore. This deal is yet another example of a front-office blunder in StL. (if you have good scouting, you can draft 19 year-olds who will help you down the road, without paying much, instead of paying millions to take a couple of MLB players off your roster, to get 19 year-olds) The club has thrown in the towel for 2026 even before the season begins. I guess that Cardinals fans should, too.

    After these recent trades, my prediction is StL will lose something close to 90 games in 2026, and because Pittsburgh has better pitching in comparison, they will not be last in the NL Central. StL will be.
    Up until now, I've defended the DeWitts ….. but I can no longer do so. It's crazy thinking to approve giving away $28 million in salary cash, to get broken down disabled players in return on trades, plus a couple of 19 years-olds. Fans (and corporate season ticket buyers) need to be very vocal that a change in ownership (and POBO) is going to be required before they will support this franchise again.

18. This has been all wrong. Cards could easily have won just the 5-10 extra games they needed to make the playoffs the past two years . . . if they had simply hired Molina as manager. Instead, they're ruining a historic franchise, lost a million a year in attendance, and made life in Saint Louis miserable in the summer . . .

19. Had to do something…

20. Weak trade. Weak gm. Guess we really are the new Baltimore.

21. Is Nootbaar going to the Dodgers?

22. Who throws harder as the game goes on? Bartolo Colon.
