St Louis Cardinals 2024

New report stating no Goldie next year.


Report also states team is going to drop payroll just like Sonny Gray story earlier. If this is true fans really won't show up next year. And DeWallet will truly show he only cares about revenue.
This plus, Oli and Moz sticking around and the birds might not draw 2 million fans next year. (is
that the kind of revenue he's after?) if they cant afford this franchise they should get out. My guess
is they can make a pretty penny in the sale.

Skip might not want this job, its a sinking ship. we're about to be the Pirates franchise. the Sonny
Grey rumor is confirmation that it was a bad signing to begin with. Nobody on the outside thought
he was a #1 starter and without a #2 or #3 but instead a group of #5's in Lynn, Gibson, Mikolas, etc.

Now were going to give Moz a chance to fix what he's broken. (seems familiar doesn't it?) We might
be going the direction of the White Sox sitting and hoping for a sale.

Not thrilled about dropping payroll and don't trust the front office, BUT I have very slight hope they can cut payroll and actually be at the same level if not better than this season(not saying that is good). I say slight hope......possible ways to drop $ quick and reinvest.

Drop $26M from Goldy

Pay Kyle Gibson $1M buyout and not pickup option

Pay Lance Lynn $1M buyout and not pickup option

Those are the minimum moves to drop a ton of money quick. Continue that transition period until we get crap contracts of Mikolas and Matz of around $30M off the books after next season(barring a miracle quicker). More of a continual phase than transition when the pitching staff is full of #4-5 aging pitchers.
