Some of the beat writers have said they prefer not to be that LH heavy in the rotation. could be wrong though. I think we're still going to be significant players in the trade market. I agree with you that Contreras is probably financially out of the realm of where we go and that his defense doesn't really profile with what we look for out of C position. I think Sean Murphy or one of the Toronto (2) are going to be looked at extensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone gave that notion. if anything, I've been the one throwing out the options on SS', but even I acknowledged it was slim at best. And that was before learning of how they're structuring the 2023 payroll, which pretty much makes it not feasible now. Mainly Twitter Cardinal fans. Sorry I should have specified.

But I could also see them having 6 SP under contract, and saying whoever is the worst ends up in the bullpen whether that be Waino, Matz, or whoever. Inevitably speaking, Jack Flaherty will get hurt so you can't really count on him to stay healthy. Liberatore is probably their quick replacement, but given his struggles last year they're probably not high on him holding down the spot.

Not a chance they even consider that. He’s on the road to 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I didnt love the recent talk about us sniffing around the reliever market. It seems very rare that you ever get anything close to what you pay for, especially from outsiders. I actually believe you should try to home grow every member of your bullpen, they just flame out and become stars so quickly and multiple times over. Im still thinking that we end up with Vasquez behind the plate (2/$16m) and a guy like Iglesias (1/$6m) to push the Middle Infield to a higher floor. And I could see us taking a flyer on a Starting Pitcher, who could also slot in as a long arm in the BP if everyone (Jack/Matz) stay healthy to start the season. I feel like we were linked early on to Chad Kuhl, as he had a very good first half of the season, and then the bottom fell out. Those are the exact type of reclamations we are known for, and he only just turned 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens for him, I hope it’s in the AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
