Goold: Brewers willing to trade Lind, have had talks with Cardinals

[pacopete4]

Lind is out of the lineup tonight.

 

 

Has had a hurt back. Most likely the reason.

[PeaveyFury]

Jayson Stark:

 

"Also hearing this from teams that have interest in Adam Lind. They think he's going to land in St. Louis. "

Either other teams weren't willing to part with more than a batboy, or the Cards are actually thinking of sending something significant for Lind.

[DHonks]

I would definitely consider trading with division foes. It's all about getting the best return. So what if it helps a rival?!?

Right. It's not like we're going to be competing with them this season or next anyway.

[patrickgpe]

could the brewers get Patrick Wisdom for Lind?

could the brewers get Patrick Wisdom for Lind?

 

At the least. Id start with Piscotty and an arm.

[NievesNoNO]

Reyes is too much for Lind. Kaminsky maybe, but St. Louis is coasting and doesn't really need anybody so huge kudos to Melvin if he can get that good of a return.

 

 

I agree it's probably too much but he isn't without risk and Lind isn't just a rental like some other bats might be. Also, maybe with the Cards seeming ability to draft/develop pitching losing him might not be as big of a deal to them as if say he was in the Brewers system.

 

Even if the Brewers need to add to the deal, that's the guy I'd aim for.

[Jenkins5]

I hope we could pluck Flaherty or Kaminsky honestly Cardinals system is so stacked with good, solid, mid 2's low 3 FIP type guys that both of these guys are expendable. Reyes won't be touched for Lind. He is the most ace like prospect they have. Flaherty could be a solid odorizzi type prospect

[rwa12]

In reading through the Cardinals boards, there seems to be 2 camps. 1. General panic that they haven't gotten Lind yet. 2. The feeling that the Cardinals don't need help, that they're the Cardinals, and it will all work out.

 

The general consensus on what to give up either seems to be Cooney, or a combo of Lyons and Scruggs.

[mlloyd10]

Would they simply do Lind/Cotts for Adams?

[clancyphile]

My thinking:

Lind/K-Rod to the Cards for OF Stephen Piscotty, LHP Rod Kaminsky, UT Breyvic Valera, and OF Charlie Tilson

[splitterpfj]

I like Cooney, I'd do that. One thing on him, he just had his appendix out, but for the Brewers that doesn't mean much, since this season was over in April.

I'd want a little more than just Cooney.

 

Say, Tilson and Valera?

[DHonks]

Invader3k, I don't care if we face them. The definition of trade is that both sides are better off. You don't make a trade unless you value your return more than you're giving up. If we obviously value the first situation over the 2nd, then we should do the trade if it's the best possible return. I'd rather focus on maximizing return than worrying about who he plays for

 

Prospects from Cards

for

up to 1.3 years of controllable, affordable contract with Free Agency to follow

Agreed.

 

It's not like the Brewers and Cards are gonna face off in the playoffs this year or next.

 

So, why not make a deal?

 

If the Brewers can get Cooney, OF Charlie Tilson, and UT Breyvic Valera for Lind and say, Jed Bradley, I'd be happy.

[Jenkins5]

Is almost be willing to go head up Lind for Reyes like Toronto did in Marcum/Lawrie deal. If that's not a possibility, build around Kaminsky or Flaherty with a PTBNL

 

Honestly, like most have said, if we get better from trade why not pull trigger? Cards with or without Lind will still be good.

[dacrew101]

You're not getting Reyes for Lind

[Point Beer Is Best]

Sounds like Matt Holliday was just injured, which will push Piscotty to LF and make their need to add a 1B even more pressing.

Lind and Jed Bradley for Tom Cooney, Charlie Tilson, and Rob Kaminsky?

[Point Beer Is Best]

Sounds like it's a torn quad for Holliday. If true, he might be done for the season.

[superfly]

Yup, Lind will be on the plane shortly now.

[LouisEly]

Parra and Lind to the Cardinals for Reyes plus a couple of lower-level guys.

 

Or Parra and Lind for Kaminsky, Flaherty, and Weaver.

[Boomer5]

Holiday is done. Lind is now a must add.
