Hahaha
this was some fun to read ... some not fun too

Mo signed his contract long ago. He needn't do anything. He should retire early ... with full pay and benefits obviously..

Will Mo, actually, not be able to move at least one of these expendable players before the season. Arenado, Gray and Fedde. The Cardinals aren't going anywhere with these three this season. Open up some spots for young guys for the future.

I think, if, Mo "traded" Burleson it could allow a more "versatile" player like Koperniak an opportunity. Or, it, could allow a "player" like Baker a chance to be a RH power "bat" off the bench.

What would you expect to get in return for last season's RBI leader? For a team that has had trouble with RISP. He's only 26 with some possible upside.

Mainly his task is to educate Bloom and teach him as much as Bloom is able to grasp. Bloom hasn't won a thing as an Executive, so hopefully he listens closely to the instruction coming from the 3 time MLB EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR.

Over a decade ago

2 in the same year

All 3 no longer exist

For clarification

According to the man who signs his checks, Mo's lack of moves has earned his salary.

Considering his past history of making moves probably best to pay him not to make moves.

He signed 29 players this off season, oversaw all the new sophisticated equipment that has been purchased, oversaw the hirings of all the new coaches and roving coaches, and is overseeing a huge renovation project at Roger Dean stadium in Jupiter. Other than that, not much.

So far they have moved on from the veteran FA’s to focus on finding out what the younger “cost controlled” guys will do.
Guess we’ll find out if it works once they actually start playing games?
What SPECIFIC moves would you have made this off season?

a new cards talk poster and a fitness guru for the team?

Thanks for confirming what I said is true. Good to see you are honest about it.

Too many of the trolls refuse to acknowledge Mo's awards.

Bloom made those Minor League coaching adjustments. His recommendation and moves, based off what he saw and feed back from 2024 in the minors, Cranny. Mo doesn't get credit for that.

I thought the best thing he did was moving Leger (AA manager) and Gilkey (1B coach, fielding coach at Palm Beach) to centralized roles in the Minors...they'll rove around to all the leagues. Smartest managers/coaches in the organization.

The biggest travesty was promoting Anderson (Peoria Manager) to Springfield....he's a butcher of pitching arms

Figuring out a way to trade Arenado and either Gray or Fedde. Opening up at least one spot for young, developing talent in the infield and one spot for a starting pitcher.

Yes even if they are unimpressive, insignificant, and a very very long time ago they did happen.

Pure greatness……

Mo did hire Rob Cerfolio.

It takes two sides to make a trade.
You can TRY all you want to trade a player but if you are offered garbage you don’t make a move and sit tight.
BTW....two of the three you mentioned have NTC’s which is a MAJOR factor in making a potential move.
