Under The Radar Trade Candidates With Cardinals

Forget Adam Jones and the persistent rumors linking him to the Tribe. Let the Phillies or Giants fight for his below-average offense (96 wRC+) and defense (-15 DRS) and pay the remaining $6 million or so for the 0.05 fWAR he’s on pace to accumulate over the last 60 games of the season.

Bird Bytes 6-26-18: Cardinals Rotation Rebound, Bullpen Calming, & Taking On Corey Kluber

Justin Verlander & The Cardinals Are A Perfect Fit

August means one thing for playoff worthy baseball teams: get busy winning or get busy reloading for next year. If the St. Louis Cardinals want to silence the competition, adding a starter like Justin Verlander would put them over the top. Adding Verlander would be like picking up a shovel and throwing dirt on the rest of the division. Like stopping by Chuck Norris' house on the way to a bar fight. Like..okay, let's dig in.
