MLB: ***Official 2022 STL Cardinals Season Thread***
- Thread starter TheHelgo
- Start date
Turns out Albert has been key in the push since the All-Star break. Playing every day against righty’s & lefties in the 2nd half got him going instead of sitting most of the time when he only pinch hit against left handers in the first half of the season. What a STUD hitter and deserves every accolade he gets. Love Waino & Yadi, two consummate pros. Yadi showing his age and Waino struggling now but never count those two out when it’s money time in the playoffs.
Listening to his 703rd homer tonight, I thought of this post. I feel like an idiot, but couldn’t be happier to feel so stupid!
I don't know but was wondering the same. They're not on any injury report although those typically come later in the day. May have to wait until the broadcast/telecast to get any information.
I haven’t been following too closely, but it seems like they are resting a lot of the starters.
Arenado felt something in quad yesterday. Doesn't sound serious. Just resting out of precaution. I didn't hear anything specific about Edman but it sounds like they're just resting him.
Just in: Helsley had to leave the game w/jammed R finger. Hopefully will be okay by Friday.

I am really going to miss Yadi and Pujols(even if he left for a decade). Waino should go out with his boys. It was a great 20 years. Kinda sad its over.
Pujols had a fantastic last half to go out in style. Yadi struggled to gain his old juice and played probably less than half of the innings. Waino ran out of gas in September but had a good year. All three probably would never have pulled it off without support from each other. They had a great finish to long careers and went out on top winning another division title.
I’m curious, does anyone have a list of the current free agents? I don’t suppose anyone will talk much about it until after the World Series, but I was wondering.
I seem to remember from the two late trades that the pitcher they picked up from the Yankees Montgomery) had a year or two left on his contract, but the one they got from the Pirates (Quintana) had only signed a one year deal.
Aside from that, I seem to hazily recall a mention sometime that Mikolas was a FA after the season, but that’s about it. Oh, and before he got hurt, people were talking about Flaherty was due a big payday?
That’s about all I got, aside from Arenado’s last potential opt out. Any help, anyone?

This should answer all your questions.,
St. Louis Cardinals 2024 Salaries Payroll
St. Louis Cardinals 2024 salary cap table, including breakdowns of salaries, bonuses, incentives, cap figures, dead money and more.
Do you have any more by way of explanation? Does "opts-in" mean he's staying with the Cardinals?
Yes, he had two opt outs on the contract opportunities under the contract he signed with the Rockies, He is just informing the Cardinals that he is refusing the last opt out, and will stay in St. Louis for the next five seasons.
I’m hopeful that Arenado’s decision to opt in after speaking with Mo means Mo promised they’re gonna spend to try to win. Mo has already said publicly that the payroll will increase for 2023.
The best and splashiest way to show a commitment to higher spending is to add Willson Contreras in free agency.
