I had a dream last night that somewhere in the bowels of Busch II, St. Louis Cardinals general manager was hard at work on a huge multi-player trade with the Brewers and/or Reds. Then I woke up.
The reality is that the St. Louis Cardinals may not have the talent it needs to pull off such a deal. We don’t have a Dansby Swanson type we could package with a fringy big leaguer to get Jonathan Lucroy or Joey Votto. Although I argued yesterday here and here that, given what the White Sox gave up to get third baseman Todd Frazier this week, the cost may not be high at all.
