It’s trade deadline day! It’s like Christmas morning, where some people will get new presents and other people will get prospects, which is basically the equivalent of getting a gift card. No, you can’t play with it now, but you might eventually get good use out of it.
In preparation for today’s potential wheeling and dealing, and with the whole “there’s a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks going on” thing, VEB had you covered over the weekend. Here’s what you may have missed.
- In maintaining the time-honored tradition of imagining scenarios where the Cardinals will trade Lance Lynn, Ben Markham examined the potential fit of Lynn going to the New York Yankees.
- Speaking of Lynn, and adding Trevor Rosenthal to the equation, Audrey Stark looked at the potential alignment of the Cardinals as sellers and the Washington Nationals as buyers.
- The red baron wrote about the deadline as well, expressing concern that the Cardinals may stand pat at the deadline in a situation when it would behoove them to sell off assets.
- For the latest developments with the Cardinals’ minor league affiliates, check out Josey Curtis’s farm journal.
- The Cardinals continued their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks over the weekend. They lost Saturday’s game, to borrow from the title of IHeartBoog’s recap, “in boring ways”. Sunday’s game, meanwhile, was recapped by VanHicklestein.
Remember to check in today to learn new Trade Deadline information. And check every day for potential new trades—August still allows waiver-wire transactions, and if a trade happens in September, well, that’d be crazy, right?
