I read an ESPN article that stated the Cardinals are the most likely landing spot for Soto, due to their amazing farm system.

Probably take Tyler O'Neill, or Carlson, plus Nolan Gorman and a good pitcher to get it done.

But..I don't want Soto on the Cards. Even at age 24, his dWar for his career is -3.3. The Cards have Gold Gloves in LF and CF...and Dylan Carlson is JUST as good. This would be a huge step backward.

Soto, IMHO, does not have the right frame of mind to fit in with The Cardinal Way. This is understated professionalism. Arenado, Goldschmidt, Wainwright, Molina, Pujols, ALL are willing to check their ego at the door. Soto does not appear to have the same mindset.
