Marcell Ozuna Watch - (Update: Traded to Cards Pg. 13)

[TimChopsula]

FWIW, matheny was just on MLBN and said there's possibly another bat coming soon (would assume matheny is kept in the loop)

Also, don't we have to give the Cards a ton of credit here? They had the winning offer for Stanton and he rejected it. But, the winning deal. The next significance piece that fell fell to us -- Ozuna.

Cards are doing what they had to do. Good job, Mo and Girsch.

I'll wait and see what we gave up, I have a fear we overpaid.

Didn't we kind of determine that was what they had to do at this point?

I'll consider it a win if we have finally moved on from grichuk

yup

Team is better now.

I am all for trading our surplus of 2win players. We grow them on trees.

Oh I know we overpaid, but I want to know by how much.

I still think Alcantara + Grichuk + low level pitching prospect get it done...but I'm reading Flaherty(or Hudson)/Alcantara/Grichuk

I'm really just curious.

no...

a package of alcantara (or flaherty) + a grichuk + hudson type of trade is fair for ozuna, and better than another team could/would offer

a package that includes alcantara AND flaherty is an overpay and unnecessary...no other team would have offered close to that

[MinorLeagueGuy]

Great news. Now move Yadi down to 6th.

Don't get me wrong....I am too. But enough of the Cards hoarding prospects, lets go out and get some guys that improve the team immediately.

They need to take some additional steps. I'll be very happy if they pick up Longoria/Colome...but if they can swing a Machado or Donaldson i'll be ecstatic.

Just heard on ESPN radio that Alcantara is confirmed as part of the deal.
