Cardinals receive Victor robles 7.2(2026P) Myles Straw 1.2(2026T) Carson Kelly 12(2026P) Matt Manning .4(ARB1) Dillon Dingler JB Wendelken 1.4(2024T) For Yoelkis Cespedes Keibert Ruiz Ryan Rolison Drew Ellis Stephen Piscotty 8.3(2023T) Reyes Moronta 1.5(2024T) Joey Lucchesi 3.1(2026T) David Peralta 3.9(2023T) 3rd RD FYPD 2023
Cardinals make this deal because we’re in win now mode. My OF was a weak spot last year and getting Straw is a nice upgrade over Piscotty. Robles is a huge wild card, but he’s still young and I tend to not give up on former top prospects. Kelly helps to ease giving up Ruiz and Dingler could step up to the be the catcher of the future. Manning and Wendelken help out my pitching staff to hopefully push me over the top. Trading what amounts to my 3 best prospects could hurt big time later on, but I’m pushing all in. Rangers to approve later this evening.

Rangers are doing this as they feel the control of Ruiz and the prospects outweighs the price of of Robles and Kelly. This is a future deal but the intrigue with Cespedes could soon pay off as well as the consistency of Peralta at a lower cost. Hopefully this pays off for the club's future as there is some gamble in pitchers swap, but it is too early to say who will be more dynamic as a pro; Rolison vs Manning. The 2023 3rd is an added bonus as the pick adds to the future of the team.
