Brenden Schaeffer hops on the mic for an EMERGENCY episode of the podcast as we break down the Padres' deal for Juan Soto. Could the Cardinals have beaten the final offer from San Diego? Why didn't they? And is it acceptable for the team to sit on their hands for the remainder of the day?
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals' trade for Jose Quintana to bolster the rotation as well as the surprising move by the Brewers to trade Josh Hader to the Padres. How do Monday's moves change the race for Soto that will unfold in the coming hours? Lock in for the FINAL pre-trade deadline episode of the show!
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Edmundo Sosa trade to the Phillies and the names that are reportedly in play for the Padres in a Juan Soto trade. Can the Cardinals match and exceed the Padres' potential offer? And better yet, should they?
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals 6-2 win in DC over the Nationals as Nolan Gorman keeps looking like the kind of piece you'd like to keep in your lineup. But what if the alternative is Soto? Also, Brenden explains why the Luis Castillo trade that the Mariners made with the Reds on Friday should scare people about what it could cost the Cardinals to upgrade their own rotation. Is it all worth it?
Brenden Schaeffer hops on the mic with another trade-tastic episode breaking down why trading Dylan Carlson should not be in John Mozeliak's vocabulary this week. Plus--should the Cards pursue Soto or should they focus on starting pitching instead? And we get into whether the Angels trading Shohei Ohtani actually seems plausible.
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals win from Wednesday over the Blue Jays in Toronto before getting into the weeds once again on the latest in the Juan Soto pursuit for St. Louis. Could Nolan Gorman be the key that unlocks this deal--and should Cards fans be prepared to trade Gorman AND Jordan Walker in the move??
Brenden Schaeffer starts the show by talking about a full day of Twitter discourse on the topic surrounding the Cardinals this week with the team missing its two best players in Toronto. But rest assured, in addition to some sincere talk about society and human decency--stay with me!!--today's show offers big-time insight into how Brenden would like to see the Cardinals handle the trade deadline.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' loss to the Reds in the weekend series following the All-Star Break, as well as the notable news from Sunday as Arenado and Goldschmidt will be unable to join the team on this week's trip to Toronto. We delve into the sensitive topic with as much candor as possible while still staying true to how Brenden genuinely views the situation. We also discuss the latest on the Juan Soto Watch and the irksome fraud Twitter accounts. Plus, updates on the Matz injury that leaves the Cardinals in dire need of pitching help--same as it ever was.
Brenden Schaeffer talks more Juan Soto because he just can't help himself, but mostly, we move on to other possible trade targets for the Cardinals at the deadline. And yeah, it's mostly pitching names because, well... duh.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses every angle of a potential Juan Soto trade for the Cardinals that he could possibly think to mention. Is Patrick Corbin's possible involvement in a deal something that makes the Cards more likely to pursue it? We get into the nitty gritty on this one.
