Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals' trade of outfielder Richie Palacios to the Tampa Bay Rays for right-handed reliever Andrew Kittredge.

We knew the Cardinals wanted more relief help, but are we surprised to see the team part ways with another promising young outfielder so readily?

It comes down to opportunity, it seems, but could this be looked back on as another Randy Arozarena trade?

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the news that emerged from John Denton Thursday that Tommy Edman had arthroscopic wrist surgery in October.

The team is hopeful for Edman to be ready to go by the start of spring training, but how do we view this news in the context of the rest of the Cardinals' plans for their infield and outfield alignments in 2024?

Ep. 491: Yuki Matsui signs with the Padres; Why didn't he become a Cardinal? Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses Yuki Matsui reportedly signing with the San Diego Padres. The St. Louis Cardinals pursued Matsui to at least some extent, as the team reportedly met with the talented Japanese relievers at some point in recent days. How come Matsui didn't end up with the Cardinals? And was there anything the Cardinals could have conceivably done to change the result of this free-agent pursuit?

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a bit of news that Jim Hayes broke on Tuesday night during the Noot News charity live stream.

The Cat has an interview coming out this week with Lars Nootbaar (subscribe to Jim's YouTube channel if you haven't already) in which Noot, according to Hayes, shared some details of how he's been pushing for Yoshinobu Yamamoto to consider signing with the Cardinals.

What do we think of the possibility that the Cardinals are still in play for Yamamoto? What would have to happen to make a deal take place?

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the report that the Cardinals are expected to get with Paul Goldschmidt on contract extension talks before the 2024 season. Is this is right time for the Cardinals to extend Goldy following a down year for him and the team in 2023?

What would be reasonable extension terms for you as a Cards fan to see to ensure the Cardinals lock up Goldy for the rest of his career in St. Louis?
