  4. i would've been ok with the deal to Boston, but considering the Cards need a power bat,
    and i don't expect Walker to ever become that…
    The rumors about Lazaro Montes from Seattle… i'd much rather deal with Mariners
    and get him… than another pitcher from Boston…

  7. If this happens, then they should've packaged all three players in a package deal to either pay less or get better prospects at the beginning lmao

  10. Let Donnie go to Boston, the only prospect I think is fair to send for Donnie is jurangalo talking trade value wise. If cards don’t want to do it that’s cool with me. Love Donnie but he’s not gonna put you over the hump, rather save the prospects for ketel or tatis caliber player

  12. St Louis needs a power bat in my opinion. A proven MLB power bat that can play his position. OR a true front line starter….so if you are going to trade Donavan….package him and Jo Jo and have that discussion with a team.

  14. I'm a life long cardinal fan and getting rid of Donovan is a huge mistake on st louis's part boston is laughing at how the cards are willing to dismantle everything and send all their good players to boston they are laughing at st louis and I mean their laughing hard
