Deadline deal proposal: St. Louis Cardinals

 With or without a Juan Soto trade, would you make this trade with the Cardinals?

Guardians get: Tyler O'Neill and Zack Thompson

Cardinals get: Amed Rosario

As O'Neill is still a possible flash-in-the-pan candidate Thompson softens that blow a little bit.

One point.  This would create an issue for the Cardinals in that now they have Edman, Gorman and Rosario for two positions (SS,2B).  So maybe we expand the deal to:

Guardians get: Tyler O'Neill and Nolan Gorman 

Cardinals get: Amed Rosario, Richie Palacios, Bryan Shaw and Peyton Battenfield

May seem a little light for the Cardinals but Palacios fits their system, they need bullpen help and Shaw is solid and they are a little light at starting pitching depth which they likely will need down the stretch.
