The Cardinals announced the following staff hirings & assignments today for their minor league system: Ryan Barba (MiLB Field Coordinator),
Jose Leger (Asst MiLB Field/Baserunning Coordinator), Austin Meine (MiLB Pitching Coordinator), Ethan Goforth (MiLB Catching Coordinator)
Not much in the headlines right now for the Cardinals; just more drama in the Nolan Arenado saga. There are also a few rumors around Paul Goldschmidt. And some former Cardinals are on the move.
The Milestone Universe is back this week on DC Univese Infinite with a new series from an original creator. We also get a load of Batman books, the Question working for the Justice League, and a few recent trades.
Here's all the new releases that are in stores today. This includes floppies, trades, and graphic novels; no books, games, or toys. I'm also not listing variant covers, or special variants that come out after the initial release.
Another giant Spider-Verse week, let by Venom and the Venom War. We're also seeing X-Men books out 2 weeks early on a regular basis. Plus the end of Star Wars, a large Fantastic Four issue, and a Marvel Rivals spinoff.
As Cardinal fans, this might have been the most boring Winter Meetings we've ever seen. No signings, no trades, no Rule V picks. Just rumors of Arenado being shopped. At least we pick 5th in the draft...
This could be the biggest Batman week on DC Universe Infinite this week, as 7 of the 11 new books are Batman titles. We also get new Manga (more Batman), retro comics (more Batman), and a DC Go! book (Nightwing, close enough)/
Day 2 of the Winter Meetings was a little more active for the Cardinals, but it's mostly from the rumor standpoint; a few more Arenado tidbits came out & the Cardinals were tied to a surprise player. We also learned the Cards will have the 5th pick in the '25 Draft.
