Flaherty and Alcantara I'd imagine, though I'm hoping it is just Alcantara and a couple lesser pieces. General consensus on VEB is it will hurt more than we hoped though.

I really wanted Yelich over Ozuna but Ozuna is still an upgrade.

Now c'mon Mo. Go get Machado and sign him to an extenstion then grab Greinke and call it an offseason.

In Stanton talks #Marlins really liked Alcantara, Bader and Weaver among others. Not sure if any are in Ozuna deal, but was told those were #stlcards players Mia asked often about.

My guess is Sandy and Randall.

I've seen that thrown around a lot too. That seems low but maybe the industry values Grichuk higher than I do.

If that's actually the deal then more than happy with it. I like Alcantara a lot but he's one of how many "Throws 100, Plus Changeup, Athletic Delivery" pitchers the Cards have?

If Weaver is involved I'm going to be pissed. It wouldn't surprise me to see something like Alcantara, Grichuk, one of Bader/Sierra/O'Neill either.

Yeah, it does seem low, and I won’t be surprised if there’s more added to that. Expect it honestly.

Ironically, the Cards will give up more in terms of prospects than the trades for Gordon and Stanton combined.

Just the nature of it given the respective contract situations. Yelich would have been the highest package of any of those options because that contract is so team friendly.

Ozuna has to be the most underrated player in the Majors.
His stats this season were incredible. The Cardinals got a steal and he's only 26!
