That doesn't seem like a package that involved an extension for Goldschmidt. Even for 1 year I dont see how you could be mad about that trade.
Luke Weaver will/would be lucky to crack a starting rotation, I highly doubt Kelly has as much value as some would lead you to believe around here, and I dont even know who the fuck Andy Young is. [Reply]
Not long ago Carson Kelly’s defense/power was thought heir to Yadier Molina. But now questions if can translate power to MLB. Andrew Kninzer moved by him in #StlCards internal depth chart for catcher of the future.
Pretty much this. Kelly has been called up 3 times to MLB and hasn't shown jack shit. The guy makes Tucker Barnhart look like Mike Piazza. He actually had a fucking negative OPS+ last season in the majors. [Reply]

I think he's upset that they didn't trade it for a new crispy dollar.
I think he's referring to this deal taking them out of Harper/Machado which would be monumentally stupid.
Ya this trade is a good deal. But look at it like this...
This is your core:
Ozuna - 1 year
Goldschmidt - 1 year
Molina - retiring in 2 years
Carpenter - going back to 3rd base
You potentially passed up on a stud stepping into his prime for what appears to be a 1 year run, that still doesn't guarantee a playoff spot, in order to avoid spending money. [Reply]
