So if the Stanton trade was all about getting that salary off the books, what is this one about?

Needing to get a lot of salary off the books. They only have Ozuna for the next 2 seasons, and they would probably cost a total of 25-30 million. Might as well get some quality prospects for him while they are rebuilding.

Knightengale just tweeted out that O'Neill and Grichuk are not part of the Ozuna trade. He added Piscotty to that list, but it's a given he isn't since we're talking with Oakland.

Alcantara is 9th on Cards list.

Inexplicably bad return return for MIA if he's the main piece.

It really depends on who you talk to about Alcantara. His stuff is right there with Reyes', and like Reyes, it will come down to control and command of that stuff. He'll thrive in the majors IMO, just depends on if it will be as a starter or as a closer where he can just go all out for an inning or so.

If Jose Fernandez was alive there's not a doubt in my mind the Marlins would remain intact and be adding right now.

Also, Luis Castillo for Dan Straily is gonna hurt the Marlins more than losing Stanton/Ozuna long term.

Wow, they got him for peanuts. They should really trade for Machado too. Otherwise the Cubs powershift will get even worse.

OK...that is much better with Sierra included. 2 top 9 prospects in a good Cards system.

Hopefully Marlins leave Sierra in the minors. Just because he played a few MLB games does not mean he is ready.

White Sox should pick up phone and see if something can be worked out

Christian Yelich is type of established young ML talent that could really help speed up buildup and is under team control for I believe 6 more years and is only 25

Sox got deep enough pool of prospect that they can part with some and still be in good position with rebuild

Gallen 13th on Cards list. Castano unranked.

Still incredible STL got Ozuna without giving up 1 of Reyes/Weaver/Flaherty/Hudson.

Awesome deal for St Louis... basically no one thought they would keep all of the four mentioned above.

Gives them enough ammo to make a serious run at Machado or someone else.
