Salutations. Make sure your phone is charged, check those 10-5 rights, and watch the medicals -- it's trade deadline week in MLB, and that usually means the mosh-iest mosh pit of questions in the weekly Cardinals chat. I'll be at the keyboard today. There are a few things going on at the moment -- and I know I'll have to step aside briefly in the middle to tend to something -- so it's going to be that kind of chat. Hopscotch between questions and checking on news. You know the drill after all these years.

You've got questions. I'll do my best to provide answers.

Questions are not edited for spelling or grammar. Answers usually are. Any comments or questions that are vulgar or threatening will be ignored.

Let me get the file set to use for the real-time transcription of this chat. And then away ...
