1. No respick wise the city would buy the team

2. He is the bad guy

3. Think you are feeding us BS

4. But mo did it

5. Don't waste your time following the Cardinals.
   Their losers again in 25..

6. Once again I am sick and tired of hearing about the cardinals trading Arenado. It is going to be a losing season this year anyway

7. As we all know, MO and Dewitt put us in this spot. Let’s say Nolan isn’t traded and he remains a Cardinal. We have a solid 3rd baseman and hopefully he can get his bat working again with the new hitting coach. If our FO can work out a trade then problem solved. Like most I’m just tried of the drama. Good show JD

8. Cards need 2 sign tortellini. He was drafted in same yr as many of our youngsters. 2020 n plays 1st base. He 2 had a struggle like some of our guys. 2 catchers ina line up with the player I'm interested in watching Johnny crook n chase Davis. Contreras has no power or wheelchair nor does Herrares

9. Yes,keep Nado….. .. He'll make uall eat crow.

10. Your owners r getting as bad as the NFL cardinals blipwells. Missouri buy these redbirds b4 Dewitts make them no better then the poorest mlb franchise like the blipwells in the NFL cards. Just keep them in St. LOUIEEEEEE

11. Tork at 1st

12. Put contrast at dh n trade all your catchers dewitt

13. Owners who couldnt shell out 7.5 mil 4 fedde n git what in return sour egg nogg.

14. Torkelson 1st base.sign em up.

15. Trade bloom if he doesnt want 2 stop the mistakes . Last looking real good ,cause 4 yrs.fans.. yrs…

16. I think as soon as Bregman signs, then the teams still looking for a 3B will come Arenado's way. Some of them are on Arenado's list. I don't see him being a Cardinal come Spring Training.

17. They won't get much in return for him. I don't have that much faith in Gorman, people forget he was sent down last year and was as lost as you can get. Maybe Arenado can be all that he can be and we just ride this one out.

18. I usually agree with most of your takes. This episode was no different except for 1 small point of contention that I think you were dead wrong about. You made the statement that this was inevitable, and it wasn't by any stretch. Inevitable is, he gets fired but nothing really needs to change because he's already doing all of these new and exciting things but perhaps he made a few trade misteps that led to a decline. No, no! In this case the new guy is coming and implementing all of the things he wasn't doing and we were clearly behind the times on implementing. He's coming in and completely revamping our player development staff and strategy because Mo refused to care about player dev, something fans have been screaming about for the last 20 years. This is not "inevitably" this is, you shouldn't be in this job nor have that position!

19. Guy is a deserved HOF player. However, I would have told him already that he will be 3rd string. Hopefully that will motivate him to accept a trade. Need to let the young dogs eat.

20. Arranado only wants to go to a couple of premier destinations. He's not that player anymore, those places don't want him.

21. First and foremost we're not stuck with anybody. We are lucky to have them. With the exception of miles. Nolan didn't screw anybody. He was let on by the Cardinals when they traded for him. Telling him they was going to build a winner around him. They never did. I don't know why you continue to push the lie about the youth movement. This never has been about a youth movement and always been about dumping payroll. The Cardinals can keep their aging stars and still go with a youth movement. And I hope that's what happens. Same thing when I keep hearing talks about if they can't trade Nolan they're going to have to trade pitching, haha why? The team had a surplus of 40 or 50 million dollars last year. They're wanting to put that in their bank account and not try to win. Which is basically stealing from their fans. The fans don't show up and pay overpriced prices for everything associated with the Cardinals for them not to put the money back into the team.

22. I'm ready for this Arenado business to be over with one way or another. It will be nice to not have to hear about it.

23. Seriously MO??? You are really going into next season with the only thing you do is not resign the expiring contracts??? That is the epitome of doing nothing. What happened to the youth movement???

24. Mo is taking the hits because he screwed up big time. Dont cover for him.

25. Funny- I was thinking the same thing- our we stuck with him? Seems how we might be viewing him at this point (thanks in part to you JD- you got us all hyped up about trading him). I think that is doing him a disservice. But on the other hand he doesn't fit into the approach of "going young''with this team. Quite the dilemma.
