Mo and the rest of those in charge will probably want the team kept intact for next year. Their reasoning is that most players had bad years this year save Wong, Molina, and Edman. Goldschmidt, Ozuna, DeJong, Carpenter, Fowler, and Bader all had bad years. They will argue they expect them to return to normalcy next year and that could propel the Cards to bigger and better things.
There could be some logic behind that reasoning. But then again, Ozuna may fly the coop so who knows.
I agree Rat. I have saying the same thing for weeks. Everyone out there who thinks we are going after Cole, Rendon, Betts, or Lindor are going to be sorely disappointed because it isn’t happening. Due to ill timed contract extensions, bad contracts with no trade clauses, and some dead weight on the payroll, I don’t anticipate a lot of transactions over the winter. There will be a few moves but nothing huge.
