Makes complete sense. He has been injured and it was being announced he was just gonna DH it up for the rest of the year and maybe do surgery in the offseason. Having him do Surgery now would most likely be the best direction for all parties. Especially if he's healthy for next Spring.
Four of the guys we got are now listed in our Top 10 prospects via mlb.com I'm not exactly too knowledgeable about prospects for baseball tho.
Nootbaar has a Dutch father…that’s pretty close. Mom is Japanese. Really cool combination that leads to “Lars Taylor-Tatsuji Nootbaar”. Incredible name.

Meet the prospects Cardinals have acquired at the Deadline
ST. LOUIS -- Two days after adding four Minor League prospects -- including three pitchers -- the Cardinals traded for three more promising young pitchers and a lefty-hitting infielder on Tuesday prior to the 5 p.m. CT Trade Deadline. In dealing Jack Flaherty to Baltimore, St. Louis received...www.mlb.com
Roby is a top 100 prospect on some lists who was having a great season so was maybe even on his way to higher before he hurt his shoulder. He's supposed to be back soon as well so it shouldn't be a long term injury. He has top of the rotation potential but probably more a good mid rotation guy. He's also pretty close to the big leagues, so wouldn't be surprised to see him get some starts next year.
all of the returns are underwhelming. bowtie boy has damaged this franchise severely.
It’s rumored all these prospects like Fortnite, so that tells you all we need to know
sign FA pitcher?
I already have. What about Ed Kea? He was born in Weesp, Netherlands, to a Dutch family. As far as I remember, he is the only NHL player that was born in The Netherlands. He played mostly for The Red Wings, but also played one year for The Blues, and I remember him playing defence for them.
Not to get too OT, Wasn’t Daniel Sprong Dutch as well? I think he had a cup of coffee lol.I already have. What about Ed Kea? He was born in Weesp, Netherlands, to a Dutch family.

And what about..... Jay Bouwmeester? He must certainly have come from a family with Dutch origins. That name means "Architect", literally, "Master Builder". What about Eddie Beers? (Means more than one bear), Troy Brouwer? (means "Brewer"), Mike Crombeen ? ("krombeen" means "crooked bone"), Bob Dirk (Dutch for "The People's Ruler" and the shortname for Diederik), Cam Janssen (meaning "Son of Jan", Ralph Klassen (means "more than one class"), Fred Knipscheer (means clipper, as in nail clipper, literally "cutting shears"), Wade Redden (meaning "to rescue" a rescuer hero in the family's past?), Dave Richter (name means "judge"), Cliff Ronning (means "rounding", Mike Van Rijn (means "from The Rhine River"), John Wensink (a common Dutch Surname (probably originally meaning some kind of large hole (pit) in the ground).
There were a lot of Dutch immigrants who came to Canada between 1870 and 1940, including my grandparents.
Baseball is a not a very popular sport in The Netherlands (not a very high calibre of play there). How would a player from there get access to training for it on a high level? He'd have to have immigrated to USA or Canada, or The Dominican Republic, or Japan (most likely USA) with his parents, as a young child, to acquire that skill.
In any case, I don't watch baseball, so it would be a "hollow victory".
Now, if you could, instead, deliver me a bunch more Stanley Cup victory seasons for The Blues during the next 10 years, that would be Aces in my book!
And also toss in at least one for The Winnipeg Jets, too, for good measure, while you're at it!

Yes. Sprong was born in The Netherlands, and he played a few NHL games (18), with The Penguins in 2015-16. I remember following him as a prospect hoping he'd make it to a decently long NHL career. I didn't remember that he came up to The Penguins for a couple of Months. I don't think The Blues played The pens while he was up.Not to get too OT, Wasn’t Daniel Sprong Dutch as well? I think he had a cup of coffee lol.
And as for those last couple sentences, I’ll ask around and see what I can do
I remember Beers coming from B.C. And Hockey db and Hockey Reference list him as having been born in Merrit, B.C. I can only find one place that lists Beers as having been born in The Netherlands (Zwaag in West Friesland, not far from where I used to live in Noord Holland), and that is Wikipedia, which can be edited by ANYONE. So, I would trust Hockey db and Hockey Reference more. In any case, I'm sure Beers never played any hockey in The Netherlands even IF he immigrated to Canada (likely as an infant - IF at all). Sprong certainly played several years before coming to North America, and I seem to remember that Kea did, as well (at least a few). If a Dutch kid wants to play in The NHL, the best thing to do would be to do what European players from lower-mid-level hockey countries do, which is to move to Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, or Finland in a high school (gymnasium) exchange programme, live with a family from that country, and play Junior levels there, before coming to Canada or USA for higher level Juniors.
