Mish: Marcell Ozuna Traded to St. Louis Cardinals

[fish16]

i agree that its dissappointing with him as the centerpiece, but it all depends on the remainder of the deal.

[Ralph]

Hopefully Tyler O’Neill. Probably Adolis Garcia.

[MiamiHomer]

Basically every MLB guy I follow on twitter is stunned that's all they got for Ozuna.

how th efuck are we nearly 2 hours since the deal was announced as done and we only know 1 name?

Unless there is a surprise, it really doesn't depend on that. Just how bad this return is depends on who else is in it, but if he's the headliner, it's a bad deal. Period.

definitely disagree. 3 additional prospects from their system is not insignificant.

Ill wait to deal comes out but #4 prospect(likely our #1/#2) and 3 others from a great system isn't that bad

So with Gordon, Stanton and Ozuna All gone, we’ve acquired one BA Top 100 prospect (#84)?

given that that was the midseason list, id assume alcantara is on that list at this point. so 2.

Where does Alcantara rank on STL’s prospect list currently?

He was #9 before the season and then he rocked a 4.41 xFIP

[fish16]

plus guzman might be on it soon enough.

MLB.com #9 from July
BA #4 from Nov

Likely #1/#2 for us

[Erick]

I do not like this deal.

We probably could've gotten this for Ozuna at the trade deadline. This is not an overwhelming return.

I’m just clarifying.......

Alcantara is currently the Cardinals #4 prospect?

[sports24/7]

It's kind of funny how your expectations just keep going down. You yourself said earlier if Alcantara is the headliner it would be disappointing. Three additional low level prospects do not ease the burden when you are trading a player this good.

It is bad, when you consider who is going the other way. Lesser players have returned much better value. But the Marlins are going to Marlin.
