Cards sign Lance Lynn for a return trip to St. Louis, 1 year deal for $10 million. Now if that is only the start its great, if Lynn is the center piece of the rotation next year, we are in trouble. Lance at best is a #2 starter, we need an ace.
I like it if he's a back end of the rotation, if he's your 1 or 2 then they're in trouble.Cards sign Lance Lynn for a return trip to St. Louis, 1 year deal for $10 million.

I don't believe ownership or Mr. Know It All are even that stupid or tight.I like it if he's a back end of the rotation, if he's your 1 or 2 then they're in trouble.

If so, then like I said, we will be in trouble. Lynn is a nice piece to the starting rotation, but not anymore than that. For too long the Cards have relied on and hoped pitchers like Lynn would be their #1 starter and then they fill in after that, just like they did with Wano last year.There it is, that is the big signing.
Very little. Less than an hour a month if I had to take a guess. I'm more of a reader when it comes how I consume info about the rosters.You guys are so negative about the front office and we aren't even close to the start of a new season. Curious here: do you watch or listen to sports talk on TV or radio?
I cannot speak for everyone on the board, but I am negative to the front office because for years the Red Birds have been at the top of the attendance rankings, but this past year we were 15/16 in spending on the team. It's not like they do not have the money to spend. They are printing money at Ball Park Village, the have built part of the second ballpark village and they own the stadium. How about instead of enriching the owners we actually spend money on the team, they will get their money back if and when they sell the team, which has increased in value over 10 times what they paid for it.You guys are so negative about the front office and we aren't even close to the start of a new season.

Too many Cardinals fans on Twitter today don’t get that he’s a solid 4th or 5th guy. He still strikes a ton of guys out and still eats innings for breakfast, lunch, second lunch, and dinner. It doesn’t help the optics that he’s the first move of the offseason. If he was a 4th pitcher added people wouldn’t be b!tchng.
Agree about Shildt, we should have done him better than what we did. Gibson is more dumpster diving, where is the ace we are all waiting for? Hell even a strong number 2 starter would be nice.I see that Mike Shildt is now the Padres' manager. Best wishes to him. I thought he did a great job with the Cardinals.
Also, Daniel DeScalso is now the Cardinals bench coach. McEwing has been promoted (if that's the word) to a special assistant in the front office.
Also, another starter, Kyle Gibson, has been signed.
Cards keep adding pitching, sign veteran Gibson
Continuing to address what president of baseball operations John Mozeliak referred to as a strong need for “volume” among their pitching staff, the Cardinals finalized a one-year contract with 36-year-old right-hander Kyle Gibson on Tuesday. The deal, which includes a club option for 2025, comes...www.mlb.com
Free agency is just starting. None of the big name pitchers have gone anywhere except Nola staying in Philly. But so far Cards are dumpster diving againAgree about Shildt, we should have done him better than what we did. Gibson is more dumpster diving, where is the ace we are all waiting for? Hell even a strong number 2 starter would be nice.
Another off-season of bold talk and little action from the front office I fear.
To this point, Imanaga has been linked to several MLB clubs — most recently the Cubs but also the Dodgers and Red Sox. It stands to reason that virtually every mid- or large-market club with a need for pitching will have some degree of interest. Imanaga has been one of the steadiest performers in Japan for the better part of a half decade and has thus been heavily scouted by MLB teams for quite some time now. He’ll likely be on the radar for other bigger-spending teams like the Mets, Yankees, Cardinals, Giants, Angels and Blue Jays (to name a few) over the next six-plus weeks.
He would be icing on the cake to a great off season, then take the depth of the outfielders and package them together to get one great young outfielder or stud bullpen pitchers.Sounds like the cardinals are also working on Shota Imanaga
