The players have to want to come to your team. How many middle America teams are attracting these guys? If you're not near one of the oceans, players don't want to be there. The Cardinals are in the same non-attractive boat that about 26 other teams arer in. How do you fix it? The only way you even have a chance at them is by extreme over spending, and that might not even work.
I call b.s.
The Cardinals organization used to be a great place to play. Is now a toxic place.

So toxic that veterans didn't want to waive their no trade clause?

I wonder how many would if they knew Mo and Marmol were going to be back next year.
Just because because two players haven't waived their NTC, doesn't mean it's not a toxic place. But hey, nice try.

Apparently veterans have said they like it here and are looking forward to helping the younger players.
That sure doesn’t sound “toxic”.

Ownership and management somehow killed the Golden Goose
Somebody moved the cheese on BDW and he is lost.
And stubborn.
He and Mo were complicit in HackGate
They deserve their misery
I was in agreement until hackgate. Everyone forgets one big piece of it which kills the idea they were doing it as an organization.
What’s the one big piece?
The story broke as the information which was taken was given to Deadspin who published Luhnow’s notes. Why would the team steal the information then hand over all of Luhnows notes so that Deadspin could publish Luhnow’s notes?
I’m sorry but I don’t understand why handing over notes by Luhnow means Mozeliak and DeWitt didn’t know about the hacking?
