With spring training about to start up, it was time to create the '25 Cardinal Prospect Tracker, where we rank all of the top prospects in the system according to prospect site rankings. This year, I'm throwing the Top 100 in baseball on the tracker so people can see where the Cardinals players rank compared to others.
The Cardinals quiet off-season had the tiniest of news yesterday as the team acquired a utility player in trade; scouting report in the link. They also are talking w/ Boston again about Arenado. Plus a couple of minor league roster moves & some former Cards join new teams.
This week on DC Universe Infinite is a little...weak: 6 new books and 3 trades. Half the books are Batman related, so Bat-Fans should be a little bit happier. We also get 3 new trades.
With the offseason nearing an end, here is the '25 Cardinals Salary Matrix. I've left '24 on their for now since there are buyouts from declined options. I have the projected arbitration salaries from MLBTR for those going through arbitration. I've also added as many of the pre-arb numbers as possible; those without a full year service time could be wrong, but I'll update them as I get clarification.
Here's all the new releases that are in stores today. This includes floppies, trades, and graphic novels; no books, games, or toys (as far as I can tell; I don't vet everything). I'm also not listing variant covers, or special variants that come out after the initial release.
The West Coast Avengers return this week on Marvel Unlimited, along with a slew of other books. We get revenge from Wolverine, new Moon Knights, the Warriors Three, and post-Jedi Star Wars. Plus a couple of retro comics and the regular Infinity Comics.
The Cardinals need to listen to that old saying...shit or get off the pot. We're a couple of weeks away from Spring Training and nothing has really changed; Arenado is still on the team, they haven't really cut payroll, & there are quite a few young guys blocked from everyday jobs.
