No chance they take either. Rios will IMO be waived if they pull off a trade for Rasmus, who the Cardinals would be foolish to trade him now. His value is way too low w/ the awful season he's had offensively and defensively.

If the White Sox do get Rasmus, Jordan Danks will likely go the Cards IMO

Just being facetious. Rasmus is not having a good year, but at this point I'd still take him over Rios in center. Rios is a lost cause IMO.

Take him please. I'm sick of seeing Rasmus in center for us..
People still expect Colby to be a star though, so it'd take a little bit more than a SP to get him. But the Cards GM is John Mozeliak, so he'd probably accept Rios straight up for him. :obama:

The Cards are talking about a trade for Jackson or Thorton and a prospect.. If they take Jackson, I think they'll try to keep him more than a rental. Rasmus is not having a great season but still worth way more than a rental.

I'd be perfectly fine with a deal like that. Rasmus has a great upside.

As stupid as Mozeliak is, I highly doubt Jackson will be anything more than a rental. Jackson will be a Type-B free agent and they'd rather take the sandwich pick in next years draft than keep Jackson.

Yes he does... I guess you try and trade for a player that's stock is low as of now and hope his peak comes to that.

Another example, BJ Upton.

Also, there's no word on the prospect.

My guess for the prospect would be Jordan Danks. I've been hearing his name thrown around the trade rumor mill for awhile.

That would be my guess too. He's one of the Sox's better prospects and after him, there's really nothing. It will be interesting to see what prospect is thrown in the trade if the trade were to happen.

It probably won't be a CF or OF prospect, it'd most likely me a middle infield prospect. Someone like Eduardo Escobar maybe?

Weren't they talking about getting Rasmus earlier this season? Maybe late last season? I don't know but this isn't the first time I've heard of this rumor

I remember it too, I thought it was a Rasmus for Quentin swap rumor. Late last year or in the offseason.

Cards/White Sox talking Rasmus/Quentin deal? - MLB- NBC Sports

From October 30th, 2010

According to the Chicago Sun-Times' Joe Cowley, White Sox GM Kenny Williams will target disgruntled outfielder Colby Rasmus this winter and might offer the Cardinals a package centered around Carlos Quentin.

Cowley's source says Cardinals scouts were "paying extra attention" to Quentin at the end of the season and also noted that Rasmus' name had been brought up by the White Sox brass during the final weeks of the season. Rasmus' relationship with manager Tony La Russa is frosty, at best. However, unless the White Sox are offering additional significant parts in a deal, this deal would be a big win for the White Sox. Cards GM John Mozeliak has previously been quoted as saying "I can assure you, Colby's not going to be traded."

That would sweet. Shift Rios to RF, or move him? :thinking:

Rumors are they want Jackson and Thornton.

I'd rather do Jackson and CQ.
