Trade Arenado. They won’t regret it.

Honestly, I want to see Walker and/or Gorman at third base. We need to clear some log jams.Famous Mortimer wrote: ↑August 1 23, 11:34 amWhat do you, a fan of baseball and not the owner of the St Louis Cardinals, want to see?

Same. I love me some arenado, (and goldy) but I want to see Gorman and/or Walker have a chance to play at the corners for 5-10 years.WAR God wrote: ↑August 1 23, 11:47 amHonestly, I want to see Walker and/or Gorman at third base.

I’d also completely enjoy continuing to watch goldy and arenado at the corners.

Re: Mozeliak: "Some Changes" Coming For Cardinals, But Not A Rebuild
I’m worried about the way Arenado is trending, and would rather go to the youth movement. Holding onto the stars of yesteryear has burned us before. I’d rather be worse for a season or two and have a shot at being an elite team. Clearing his contract from the ledger also frees up $ for pitching, which is needed more.Famous Mortimer wrote: ↑August 1 23, 11:53 amSo, you're more a fan of efficient roster construction than baseball, then?
(also, Walker isn't that good at 3rd either)
But I would also trade Goldschmidt for high-level futures.

Gorman to 3B, Walker to 1B. They can also DH whenever.

The one thing that concerns me with Arenado this year is the decline in his defense, but I don't know how much of that's on him, an aberration, or due to the pitching staff being dog [expletive].WAR God wrote: ↑August 1 23, 12:00 pmI’m worried about the way Arenado is trending, and would rather go to the youth movement.

I wouldn't trade either Goldschmidt or Arenado IF the FO is going to actually invest in starting pitching in the off-season, which is a huge TBD. If they don't they're better off trading both.

As they should be.
