Pittsburgh is supposedly hot after Duncan and Reyes - how can we not find a match there?

Exactly (although a bit confusing). There has to be a match. I'm willing to bet there'd be quite a number of teams that would match up for Kyle Lohse...

To make any trade, there has to be a match ... meaning Team A needs an outfielder and Team B needs a pitcher ... Team B's best prospect might actually be a SS, but that's not what Team A is looking to buy, so Team A keeps looking for a match with a team that has the best outfielder before they give up their pitcher. I don't think its going to be easy for the Cardinals to just trade whoever they don't want ... there has to be a match.

It'd be fascinating to see Lohse get moved if we could get top-notch talent back, but that's a hard sell to the fans. From a purely planning point of view, though, Mozeliak would have to think about it.
