Looking forward to seeing how he cleans up Johnny Mo's mess. And he fouled the Redbird nest, that is a fact.

Im giving him a chance and am cautiously optimistic. No mo Mo.

[jbrach]

you know everyone will be badmouthing him in short order

[imyourhuckleberry]

Keep in mind the inevitable and likely long-term work stoppage. This will impact every move and possible move they (and most other teams) will make. I look for an extremely quiet off-season, league-wide.

Except the chorus of collusion accusations (legit or otherwise) that will be flung from the mouths of every agent and player who doesn't get the deal the wanted.

Mostly just those still in love with Mo

[JaseMan]

At this point, they should position themselves and hope for another Top 8 pic

I am very curious how he changes things. Also extremely concerned that it will be much of the same.

Aren’t we blocked from getting a top 10 pick based on revenue sharing rules?

[David S. Pumpkins]

They will not be spending this offseason and it won't be a reflection on Bloom. The minors will play during the lockout so at least the prospects will get better while we lose at least a year of baseball.

They shouldn't be. It's a straight lottery for the teams that don't go to the playoffs.
I could be wrong but this would be news to me.

Can’t be picking in top ten 3 years in a row. Best is 11

The Lottery determines who will make the first six picks in the first round

• Teams paying into the league's revenue-sharing program cannot have lottery picks in back-to-back seasons
• Teams receiving revenue sharing cannot receive a top-six pick in three consecutive seasons
• Teams that fall into either category cannot pick higher than No. 10

The Cardinals are in the first category. Since they had the #5 pick in the draft this year, they can pick no higher than 10 in 2026

Realistically their highest 1st rd pick will be #12. Right now they are picking at #15.

Why not just lock out the players a year early then and force them to negotiate before the old CBA even expires? There's nothing that prevents a new agreement from being drafted to superceed the old one before it ends.
