Cardinals need to trade for Trevor Bauer

Cardinals need a lot of things but first of all they need an ace. Maybe one day Flaherty can be an ace, maybe Reyes can too, even Carlos might figure everything out as a starter but that is a lot of maybes and you dont build a team around maybe's.

Indians are out of it and probably going to remain out of it. Sure I'd like Lindor and to move Dejong to 2nd or just acquire Ramirez but the Indians need hitting and they arent going to part with their cost controlled guys right now in that department.

So offer anyone currently in the minors not named Gorman and Nunez maybe hold onto Knizer and get Bauer on this roster.

Maybe we dont have enough to get it done without Gorman who is our only top 100 prospect but you have to try now not in the middle of July when everyone is calling about he and Kleuber. I'd take Kleuber if we cant get Bauer but I'd rather have the guy who should be here 10 more years over the guy coming up on the downside of his career.

Reyes
Montero
(I still like both a lot)
O'Neill (since hes not going to play here and his ops is below 800 in memphis, cant let his value completely disappear)
Gomber/Ponce
whatever else is needed.
