The Winter Meetings are over and the Cardinals have a few new players. Let’s recap where they stand and what else they need. Catching ClosureWith Willson Contreras in the fold, the Cardinals are able to move on to other positions. While they were originally tied to Dansby Swanson, that is probably off the table; the…
Another quiet day for the Cardinals at the Winter Meetings, just that jaw-dropping Guillermo Zuniga signing (scouting report). There was a little news on Willson Contreras, Jose Quintana leaves the market, and MLB set the draft order. An Offer to ContrerasThere have been a few reports of the Cardinals offering a contract to Willson Contreras….
Some news came out yesterday from the Winter Meetings; unfortunately the biggest story had nothing to do with the product on the field. Danny Mac’s Strike 3I thought Danny Mac put his alcohol issues behind him; unfortunately for everyone, he hadn’t. McLaughlin was arrested on Sunday for DWI – Persistent in Creve Coeur, MO. It’s…

The Cardinals are tied to a lot more rumors this trade deadline then they have in the last few years. Here’s where everyone stands Juan SotoEveryone is pretty much in play. Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat has heard Nolan Gorman is the centerpiece of the Cardinals offer so they don’t have to move multiple…
Things continue to get worse during a tough stretch for the Cardinals; the Braves and the Phillies are 2 of the hotter teams right now, and the Cardinals showed their current roster can’t hold up to playoff contenders.
