-St. Louis Cardinals-

If Scherzer becomes available near the deadline...

Nationals receive: Alex Reyes RHP, Elehuris Montero 3B (3), Dylan Carlson OF (6), Genesis Cabrera LHP (8), and Connor Jones RHP (16)

Cardinals receive: Max Scherzer RHP and Justin Miller RHP

This trade gives the Cardinals a new ace in Scherzer that they desperately need, along with another piece to add depth in their bullpen. Scherzer is clearly the main player in this deal and is someone that the Cardinals had interest in when he was a free agent. Not to mention, the guy is also from the St. Louis area.

For the Nationals, this trade provides them with plenty of high tier prospects as they look to rebuild, assuming that they don't make up ground in the NL East race. Reyes was the Cardinals #1 prospect for 4 years until he recently lost his prospect status. There are also several other guys who could become quality starters like several other Cardinal prospects have ended up becoming for teams (Randal Grichuk, Tommy Pham, Aledmys Diaz).

Cardinals receive:
3B Nolan Arenado
CL Wade Davis

Rockies receive:
SP Ryan Helsley (#4 prospect)
OF Ryan Arozarena (#6 prospect)
RF Dexter Fowler
C Carson Kelly
SP Luke Weaver

This trade fills the Cardinals two biggest needs of this offseason with a third baseman and star closer. The large haul heading to Colorado would help the team with a quick retool, giving them 4 young players along with Dexter Fowler, who spent his first 6 years in the MLB with the Rockies. With Arenado only having one year left on his deal, this trade makes a lot of sense, giving the Cardinals a solidified superstar and much needed closer, while the Rockies receive young assets for the future.

*Randy Arozarena my bad.

I think it's close. I think Knizner or Gorman probably need to be included.

Also, adding in Fowler diminishes the value of the trade. The Cardinals could take Davis without adding Fowler.

rockies ask for one more top 20 cards prospect.

I think including Fowler tanks this trade. I also think one of their top guys has to be heading back to Colorado as well. These guys might be top 6 for the Cards, but neither is in the MLB top 100. It might only be a year of control for Arenado, but he's a perennial MVP candidate at this point.
