So we blinked at Carlson for Soto but are pushing him for Lopez?

I mean I'd trade Carlson for Lopez but that seems so weird.
It was Carlson plus plus plus (Walker and others) that they balked at, not Carlson being the centerpiece.
I thought that Walker was off the table...

Which is why Soto is not a Cardinal.

Yeah I believe that's why reports of the Cardinals involvement was deemed to be "exaggerated" by the media from those in the know

It seems like the media put two and two together: Cardinals need another bat/they have a lot of prospects/young players and are a great match for the Padres.

Seems like the Padres wanted: Walker, Carlson, and others

And the Cardinals weren't willing to give up their top prospects AND Carlson. Not Carlson being the centerpiece and other pieces added.

I like Lopez, but I don't want to trade any of our starting outfielders outfielders to get that deal done.

Would do Herrera, Burleson, and Hudson. Not sure if that moves the needle for Miami.

Walker, Winn, Graceffo, Hence, and McGreevy are off the table for me.

Nice!! Well deserved.

And Bernard Gilkey is a coach for Palm Beach. That's neat.
