How the mlb has changed. Now days they’d be signing for 30m+ a year!
The same amount Bill Dewitt bought the Cardinals for. Got the best 10 year stretch in the history of the game for 100 million.
What’s the story with Augie? Does anyone know? Like age? Is he just an old head superfan? I love his posts
One of the problems with the modern day Cardinals is that they operate like they still have prime Pujols on a team friendly contract. They think they can have a great team just by being crafty and not spending that much.
They can’t. We don’t have the best hitter in the game anymore and we’re not going to be very good if we don’t pay up for star talent.
