Why not put O'Neill out there? He's played some CF and is overall a good defender. [Reply]
A Walkerless deal is/was already on the table and the Cardinals are seemingly slipping out of the Soto race and its looking more like the Padres will get him, possibly with Bell, with the Dodgers sitting there still aggressively upping their offer. [Reply]

I don’t think the Cardinals will get Soto because I don’t trust the FO to do anything meaningful, but I don’t think they’re out of it by any means yet. [Reply]

Well the latest is that the Cardinals still aren't offering up Walker in a deal and the Padres and making headway on acquiring Soto and Bell. The Cardinals aren't out of it but until they start getting serious about it and put Walker in the deal they are basically forfeiting negotiations.
They seem more interested in adding whatever mediocre pitching is left out there instead of Juan Soto. You got Quintana, do you want Wade Miley or Drew Smyly too? [Reply]

Apparently they’re interested in Rodon as well.
I want Soto, but it’s a waste of assets unless they at least got more pitching. Otherwise, they’d have similar fates as they have the past 3 postseasons or worse. [Reply]
Same was said last year on Scherzer so I'll wait and see, but I'm going to the game today and I just might have to show up in a Padres Soto jersey. [Reply]
