Marcell Ozuna Watch - (Update: Traded to Cards Pg. 13)

[go birds]

Hope they don’t overpay for only two years of control.

I don’t really trust this FO to pull this off tbh

I thought their problem is that they were unwilling to pay what it takes to acquire high-level talent?

Ozuna is fine but I haven’t been a proponent of getting him. I’ve been pushing for yelich

Well I think most would prefer Yelich, but it remains to be seen if he’s really available and Ozuna better fits the need for a 30+ HR type bat.

I don’t mind giving up one “good” prospect like an Alcantara plus a couple spare parts / questionable ceilings to get two seasons of Ozuna. I think I would be passing if the asking price is significantly more.

I’d be ok with that

Big shock. It's SF vs StL again. We should win that one pretty easily.

And I'm perfectly happy shipping them Piscotty for some young pitching (if they have any). Or do they have a closer they can lend us?

Melancon?

Goold:

The Marlins, according to multiple sources, covet the prospects the Cardinals offered for Stanton, and the understanding of the Cardinals' system has already fast-forwarded conversations.

Sandy Alcantara interests the Marlins, sources have confirmed.

Brad Ziegler, a $9-million reliever for the Marlins, could also be involved in the conversations. Sources have said that Ziegler would welcome a trade to the Cardinals and the Marlins would relish the salary relief.

Be prepared for Ziegler to come back our way. That has always made a lot of sense. I still think that we would need to go after a closer -- preferably a FA one.

It's possible that we can send less in terms of prospects to Miami in order to take on Ziegler and then we can still work out a deal with the Rays to get Longoria and Colome.


If we land Ozuna, Longoria, and Colome we would have done a great job with this offseason. All three of those, individually, are less than what I originally hoped for, but the combination of them is darn good.

Goold:

The Cardinals spoke to Dexter Fowler about moving to one of the corner outfield positions and one of the reasons why they did not designate left field for Fowler was because of a player like Ozuna. He won a Gold Glove in left field this past season, and the Cardinals would look at putting Fowler in right field and Ozuna in left if they were to acquire him.

Have we really talked about how good a defender Ozuna is? He's good. There. We talked about it. Back to his bat.

While the star power of Stanton would have been awesome, I think those 3 guys would overall be a better haul for the offseason.

I would be very happy with that too. And if Ziegler means we send fewer guys south that's even better.

[Big Amoco Sign]

I still think it's something like Alcantara, Hudson, and Grichuk for Ozuna.

If Ziegler is thrown in then take out Hudson and add Woodford or Gallen.

What is an OF of Ozuna Pham and Fowler like defensively? Fowler's arm in RF is the only glaring concern. How is range? Pham in CF can't last much longer than 2018 I imagine.

I agree. I wanted Stanton for the excitement and star factor but landing those three would be a great off season. I'd be excited for opening day then.
