I would throw in Hamilton as well!!!

And St. Louis still wouldn’t bite!

I think if St. Louis does actually put Helsley on the market they'll be looking for, and getting, significantly better offers than that.

Probably, but hopefully Boston doesn’t go higher than Bleis for the 15-20 IP Helsley would get before departing…

If I was the Cardinals, I'm only poaching from the Sox system if there's a guy Bloom really covets. They haven't won a WC series since 2019. I know this team has surprised them a little, but why not give back to the fanbase and just go for it? The team wasn't very good in '23 and '24. 

The Red Sox and Cardinals are similarly situated as storied franchises currently in Wild Card races coming off multiple down seasons.

The Cardinals are unlikely to sell Ryan Helsley.

Barring a collapse over the next 2 1/2 weeks, I would agree…

Relievers more likely to be available than Helsley:

Carlos Estevez (KC)

Felix Bautista and Seranthony Dominguez (Bal)

David Bednar (Pitt) Nope.

Steven Wilson (CWS) A clear sell high candidate

Emmanual Clase (Cle) Reportedly available, but who knows?

Kyle Finnegan (Was). Probably best avoided unless he’s dirt cheap…
