The podcast inspired a silly real life trade thought: Would St. Louis flip Grichuk to the Giants for Will Smith since the salaries are equal and cap room is a huge concern in SF?
The Cards flipped Grichuk to Toronto for a middle reliever and another pitching prospect. An unusually quick resolution to a home-made trade rumor.
whoa dude, didn’t get the destination but less than a day after you suggest his deal, he’s gone! lol
