Interested to see the return. Nothing really makes sense at face value

Interesting...can't say I expected this. Bader is the only one that I could see making sense from Tampa's perspective. Can't think that they love O'Neill that much. Maybe Edman?

If O'Neill or Martinez is the big piece, then I'll be very confused.

How is the full trade STILL not leaked yet?

I don't know but it's quite frustrating as a Cardinals fan

Incarcerated Bob said the Cardinals are being very quiet.

Next tweet from Jon, Tommy Edman is another Cardinals OF, no confirmation on if he was included.

Bader or Edman are the only 2 that make sense to me. Bader and Kiermaier in the same outfield would be amazing defensively.

Buddies become teammates. I'm sure it'll be cool for them to be at Spring Training with Goldschmidt.

Goold at least confirmed that Cards have been talking O'Neill in trade talks, including with the Rays. Goold said Cardinals have not been in contact with Bader tonight.

why would TB trade him for the likes of bader or martinez?

6 piece deal, 3 on each side. 4 players, 2 draft picks.

Bader is great analytically.

6 piece deal, 3 on each side. 4 players, 2 draft picks.

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Um, that's a win.

I mean I like Arozarena, but his ceiling is probably as a 4th OF. This seems like a trade the Cardinals win. Opening a spot to bring back Ozuna, and Liberatore could be flipped in an Arenado deal maybe?

 

[Terry Yake]

not sure what TB is doing here. seems like a pretty easy win for STL
