I like this signing 400k is a lot of money to me and you, but in baseball, it's peanuts, especially if he works out to be a stud. I also think that the position the Cardinals are in you have to be willing to take a couple of risks
I like what the Cardinals are doing.
Cardinals are doing what Mo who apparently couldn't put together.
The brewers always have a stable of mercenary, Latin American arms. It looks like always having 2-4 guys, age 22-27 that are only good for 3-5 years max. They don't cost alot and they will pitch every day to pitch their arms off. Brewers always have a bullpen that's top 5 for no money with a bunch of names you never heard of. They can flip them, keep them, burn them up in a playoff run or championship run. I am for maximum investment in young Latin arms since we will never be able to bring any Asian players here. Building your pitching staff with young cheap arms, maybe a free agent in a run, and then having flexibility to spend on position players, is the way to go. In actually excited for the 2030 season!
Thank you
