Or exercising your NTC to stay with a team that has zero chance to win anything, because you feel comfy in a city

Gray, Willy, Nado...loser mentalities. No wonder this team is in the dumpster, these are supposed to be the higher paid experienced veterans??

:lol:
They love it here. Cash their checks and no expectations or pressure to win whatsoever. So yes the team is packed with players that feel that winning is 3rd or 4th on the list of priorities.
Actually, because of the Cardinals history and legacy, there’s a lot of pressure to win here.
Maybe it used to be that way. But it’s not anymore.

Then why do players talk about the successes and the legacy when they come into the organization?

I'd like to see Bloom fire Oli (of course) and then turnover a really large portion of this roster.

Too many "MEH" players, time to cull the logjams.

I think today's players live in the present and for themselves .they have a unique skill and want the money..and thanks to the idiot Mo-ran. This franchise is not relevant...and the fans are saying so as well...with their silence and empty seats...or maybe they are going to soccer matches!

Throwing the fans a bone. It’s lip service.

I was talking about pressure to win here. There is none.

Oli got an extension after our worst season in 30 years. On top of that it was the worst season in 30 years and nobody was fired, not a single coach or front office member. That was all you needed to know. If there was any pressure to win then someone would have lost their job.

Mikolas has been the worst pitcher in baseball for the last 3 years and is still here.

Mo and BDW ignored the minor leagues player development system.

We’ve sold at the deadline 2 of the last 3 years.

Simply put this organization’s actions and decisions speak volumes over anything you want to believe.

We have a nice history and now we are at best an after thought.
