Loved Polo's take on Helsley. I thought for sure he was gone, but hey, so did everyone except Polo. Kudos! I never saw the star closer market being this depressed. Personally I'm ecstatic Helsley is staying, time to sign him to an extension!
Great start to the show. I tend to be pessimistic, so anything I say comes from that perspective. I find it hard to be optimistic about this team. If we lose Goldschmidt and Arenado, the infield defense will not be a fraction of what it is now. Outside of Winn (who I believe is potentially an elite talent), I see a bunch of midling, okay players that might be nice pieces if you had a lot elite talent around them, but aren't going to win you anything on their own. As far as Nolan goes, as you both said, it's not that surprising that a deal is not done considering Bregman is still out there. IMO, there will be two windows where the interest in Nolan will ramp up...first will be right after Bregman is signed and the second will be mid-season when one of the big wallet teams gets desperate in the pennant race. So Polo may well be right about Arenado reporting to Jupiter in a couple of months. Lastly, congratulations and good luck on this venture and thank you for continuing to bring great coverage for Cardinal fans.
Much luv Katie from the talkin baseball family. Plouffe gave a shout-out on the progrum so i thought I would come over and have a listen and show support because your content is awesome. I hope the channel does well.
Sorry, but this isn't JUST Nado's future...It is completely within Nado's right to nix the trade. Likewise, the Cards are within their rights to not enthusiastically pursue another trade only to have Nado say, "nah, I want to wait some more." It doesn't work for either Prom Dates or baseball trades.
That was an absolutely stupid take with Ryan Helsley, there is zero chance the Cardinals are going to offer him $100 million to resign that’s why you need to trade him. Does anybody in the comment section remember Dylan Carlson….
Thank you Katie, I just subscribed to Cardinal Territory
So happy to see original content from Katie! Love you on Jomboy. Best of luck on the podcast!
These were some great insider's perspectives that were new to me. Polo is a great guest.

Just keep him for the love of God. Can be a great mentor for Masyn. They are already good buds.

Polo is mis-informed, once the Bergman chip falls, a a Nolan trade will be completed, IMO.

Alec Burleson will be a name to watch next year. People forget... he carried the offense for the better part of last season
