It makes no sense. Lets keep around a guy who has been a failure for one more go around and then promote someone else. This is plan a team uses that has been successful over the last little while. Not a team that has failedHonestly, Mozeliak is one of the least likable executives in all of sports. I don’t understand him hanging around another year.
I cant see them going that far. But I am curious to see what they do to reduce spending at the ML level.If they salary dump Gray, Helsley, Contreras and Arenado but keep Mikolas, I am all in for a Jan 6 style riot at BPV.
I don't think Marmol survives next year. No way in hell he's Bloom's choice. A very telling this is the 5 yr contract. Bloom had them over a barrel, and he knew it. I honestly think the team will be up for sale prior to spring training. BDWJr has OBVIOUSLY lost some heat on his fastball. First time I'd seen him speak publicly in a long time. He's slipping. I know, he's 80ish, but that is a Biden/Trump situation going on there. BDW3 won't want to do this w/o his besty/boyfriend MO. I also think that's why Bloom was able to command the deal, he knows what is coming. New ST facility in Jupiter is another marketable asset as well.Mo is gone after next season. Bloom will be promoted to his role. GM will also be gone. 2025 will be another lost year during the transition. Guessing Marmol is safe for two years. What a sad franchise the Cards have become. Hope Bloom can right the ship.
He and the Dewitts are completely tone deaf, but this is just them not having dead money on the books.Honestly, Mozeliak is one of the least likable executives in all of sports. I don’t understand him hanging around another year.
This X a millionHe inherited the best organization in baseball and it has slowly deteriorated to being a sad situation with a bleak future.
That's exactly what they're going to do...Save this post...and it's what they should do if truly resetting.I cant see them going that far. But I am curious to see what they do to reduce spending at the ML level.
that looks horrible. I want no part of that.That's exactly what they're going to do...Save this post...and it's what they should do if truly resetting.

Sprinkle in some Victor Scott and that other CF'er that can't hit and they'll hope like hell whatever they netted from the salary dump has a piece or two that surprises them, ala the Tigers this year. But make no mistake, the talent that starts 2025 will resemble the late 80's pre TLR early 90s Birds. Maybe minus all the cocaine though.
