I traded with TCDB member LetsGoOs twice last year. Both were great trades that involved Orioles going in his direction and Cardinals coming my way. We changed this up a bit this time as he was looking to complete a 2023 Bowman set. I still included a handful of Os for him, while he also include a couple of non-Cardinals for me.
Not hard to guess who the non-Cardinals cards were. Altuve burned the Cardinals last night with a go-ahead 3-run home run in the 8th inning. My son will still cheer for him anyway.
Goldschmidt hit a monster home run in the loss last night. He is having a good year, just not a great one like his MVP season last year. He has a history of heating up when the weather gets warmer. Maybe he will turn things up in July.
Pujols made the trip to London over the weekend to watch the Cardinals split with the Cubs. I doubt he was impressed with the outcome.
There have been rumblings the last few weeks that a big reason the Cardinals stink this year is Molina's absence. That may be a small part of it, but there is too much talent on the team to explain the last place showing right now. They could really use a couple of stud pitchers like Gibson and Carlton. Maybe if the Mets are truly sellers, Max Scherzer could pitch for his hometown team.
Liberatore and Montgomery are 2/5 of the current rotation. Libby has not pitched as bad as some of the others, while Monty had a horrible May and great June. Who knows what will happen the rest of the year. Burleson has not played much lately with the recent call up of Jordan Walker and the return of Lars Nootbaar and Dylan Carlson from injury. Cannot blame him for much.
