Morning, all.
I’m going to have one more piece on the trade deadline coming up tomorrow morning, and it will have some broad thoughts contained within about where the Cardinals are, what they should invest in the 2019 club, and the forces pushing them in one direction or another. This morning, however, I just wanted to take a quick look at the state of the farm system, and consider just what sort of asset pool we’re dealing with if the Redbirds are, indeed, going to be buyers in the next couple days.
Obviously, if you’re going to be a buyer, the liquid capital with which you are buying is likely to be minor leaguers, seeing as how you’re trying to add to, rather than subtract from, the major league roster.
