Boras about to have another shooter take out Steven Matz
This is the only way he would ever answer this question. If they don’t want to add more pitching, it’s the truth. If they do want to add more pitching, they’re not giving up leverage.
I’m so sick of this bow tie mfer
This guy is such a non serious GM.
Also: lux tax payroll is already at $215M for the year. The first threshold is $237M. Snell/Monty would command higher than a $22M AAV which would push us into that first tax threshold. I don’t see ownership going there.
The most we’d get is either a guy like Lorenzen or maybe a trade
Current payroll sits around $170m, and for competitive balance tax payroll we have $37m in space. I am not saying they need to sign Snell, but I think we definitely needed more depth to be signed this offseason.
Something DID change, our Ace is injured in the preseason and will miss opening day. Our rotation is shaky. Again.
He’s saying the exact same thing as last year, just with different words.
So, does he want to make it to the playoffs or not..?
This is negotiating leverage everyone… all the big pitchers left are Boras clients. If Mo goes on record saying he definitely needs a starter, then the ask for Monty or Snell goes up exponentially… come on guys, common sense
Dumbfuck
This is not a serious man.
Lol, we have six starting pitchers.
>If something changes
SOMETHING DID CHANGE
We have turned into an unserious organization that is not interested in competing for a pennant, let alone a World Series
Not exactly sure why, but seeing this quote just makes me angry.
Oh. Maybe because its been the same the toe the line answer for the last 5 years. There is no urgency. there is no desire to be the best. only not the worst. Even without the injury to Sonny, this team needs another front end starter. Everyone analyzing the Cardinals would say if they really want to compete, they need another good arm. Not another geriatric pitcher that can get them innings. At some point the innings have to be quality.
But I want snell
I definitely feel like you are full of sh*t
This is either leverage or hubris.
Hilarious
sorry what
He’s just trolling us now.
This is a social experiment to see how much we’ll take before we snap.
Hey let’s not address our biggest problem we’ll just look at it differently.
This is fine. Everything is fine
Trevor Bauer can be had for next to nothing, sign him and Snell and be done with it…..that’s also called “Trying to actually win”
Looking forwards to a few weeks of “sign Trevor Bauer” posts
Happy with mediocrity.
Very disappointing, but definitely not surprising.
It’s the Cubs division, the Cardinals are going to fight for the wildcard with the rest of the teams that are on that “contend but not if it’s expensive” method.
There’s no reason this team couldn’t sign Montgomery and another depth pitcher and just save Gibson and Lynn for the inevitable injury crunch depth pitching. It’s just money not prospects at this point.

Is 2024 going to be worse than 2023?
