Brewers/Cardinals trade 7/22/21 4:54 pm ET

[RyanJames5]

:MIL: receives:
Griffin Canning .5(P-2022)
Oneil Cruz .5(p-n/a)
DL Hall .5(p-n/a)
Isaac Parades .5(p-n/a)

:STL: receives:
Max Scherzer 13(2021)
Didi Gregorious 4(2021)
4M Pd in 2021

Hoping that this is the difference to fuel :STL: to win it all this year. I?ve been able to get good fairly solid pitching and have managed to survive so many injuries thus far, but adding an ace and a very solid MI as we approach the stretch should be huge.

I?m not sure that I?ll be able to resign either of them, so they may purely be rentals for 2 top 50 prospects and 2 young cheap controllable pieces, but if I win it all, it?ll be worth it. Thanks and good luck @soonerorlitigator

Brewers approve. Scherzer is having a great season but this is the last year of the deal. Even with improvement I am not going to get to the playoffs so we make this move to start retooling. Add Didi to the package to get an increase in the talent coming back. 2 Top 50 prospects and two young guys who are prospect/former prospect guys who hopefully will figure it out.

Happy to get this deal.

Thanks for the easy straightforward talks. Good luck.
