Would DeWitt sell the Cardinals to Stan Kroenke?

Post by KeeptheRamsinSTL »

DeWitt once was a good owner of the Cardinals but he no longer cares. He seems to be doing everything he can to upset the fans. Kroenke is the most hated sports owner in the history of sports in St. Louis. DeWitt could give St. Louis one final middle finger by selling the team to Kroenke.

Kroenke was named after two Cardinals players. He was reported to be interested in buying the Dodgers. Maybe Kroenke would be interested in buying the team from DeWitt and moving them when the lease ends.

It blows my mind how quickly things changed with Cardinals fans in St. Louis. I have seen the football Cardinals and Rams leave. The Blues almost moved. The Browns and Hawks moved before I was born. I might live long enough to see the baseball Cardinals leave too. I am sure a lot of people couldn't imagine the Cardinals moving but if fans don't return to the stadium it would not shock me.

The St. Louis Cardinals will NEVER, EVER be moved.

On this I can even give it a 100% chance of NEVER HAPPENING.

Some want to believe the cards could never move….and if believing that makes them feel better….good for them

They moved the dodgers and giants out of New York…..they can certainly move a team from a much smaller market….

Dewitt announces the club is for sale…

Some billionaire from Charlotte places a bid…

Anyone really believe MLB wouldn’t like to be in that market?

Never say never. Always avoid always. Remember that.

NEVER, EVER ever will the Cardinals leave St. Louis nor would MLB allow one of it's crown jewel franchise to leave what has been dubbed "The best baseball city in America" (although Mo has done his best to e f f that up lately).

I’ve actually have been thinking about this
Stanley Enos Kroenke could redeem himself in his home state…….Rams were never really a Stl team, it was as transplant from LA. Anyone can admit the Dome was a sterile chit hole to watch a game…..so he returns and saves the beloved STL. Cardinals Baseball Team and perhaps the City of STL
Most likely fantasy, but he controls the largest Sports Team conglomerate….so

I’m not predicting it……but the entire industry has changed so dramatically…

There are things changing that most would have never imagined 10 years ago…

Nothing surprises me anymore……..and, really…..

Charlotte is a nice road trip…

OR Carrie Underwood and a group of country artists combine and the team becomes the Nashville Cardinals .
They wouldn't be too far from the Memphis Redbirds .

If they sell to them, they sell to them. Expect as much help from MLB as we got from Goodell and Hunt.

I've heard that if Kroenke buys the team, he wants to move it to Nashville.

I don't see how moving the Cardinals to another city that currently doesn't have a team would increase their value.
