What were you saying then? Things can be inferred from comments. You mentioned Goldschmidt and then said the Cards are a better organization than the Reds. Having the take away that the Reds should have traded for him isn’t too crazy. But if that wasn’t your point please clarify.
This board calling this guy a troll is just going too far. The Cards saw a huge weakness and addressed it with the best player on the market (that includes Machado and Harper). We can use our red colored glasses and be nasty if we wish, but had the Reds done something similar in regard to it's biggest weakness, they'd be a serious contender now. Thankfully, the Reds did address their biggest need, but they didn't go after the high end caliber player needed to really go for it. That seems to be the difference being pointed out. Last year he Brewers went out and got Yelich and Cain, then they won. This year, whether you like it or not, the Cardinals are the most improved team in the division, simply because they aimed the highest. I think that's all that is being pointed out here.

Personally, I think calling somebody a Troll in the middle of a thread is the wrong way to behave even if it's true. In this thread, all he posted was that the Cardinals signing Goldschmidt seems to make them a better organization than the Reds are. Looking over the last couple of decades, I don't see how anyone can dispute that. Sorry, I've been a Reds fan probably twice as long as you've been alive and it pains me to see them be such an also ran, but it doesn't make it any less true.

I think the Cardinals saw an opporunity to trade for the Best available bat in baseball, and they did not have to give up a ton to acquire.
I think they then intelligently extended him to a very fair contract, making him the conerstone of their offense for 5 more years
He is 4 full years younger than Votto, and by the time he is vottos current age, he will be on his way out of STL in a year or so.
I think with Ozuna, Carp and the rest of their players, they have a great offense that checks all the boxes.
Shoot me. Call me a troll. Say im brester (What the hell?) I dont care
