I'm happy for him. Always seemed like a good dude and he was fantastic (most of the time) for us. Glad he got his pay day!

Orioles returning to the St. Louis Browns with all these ex-St. Louis players.
Cardinals may be returning to the St. Louis Browns. Check the ownership.

You're right Red. Payroll is going to be slashed lower than all these people think.

I never thought he would get much dough the way last year ended for him. I wish him luck.
Wouldn't he be the highest paid Cardinals
pitcher with that contract?

I think he will slash payroll then spend the money on signings I think it will end up about the same as last season people that think that they are just slashing payroll are going to be surprised, he has a budget if he trades all the big dollar players he can sign a bunch of smaller budget players that’s my theory

Slashed for now, but Bloom has lots of innings to cover in 2026. He is not likely trading for all that coverage. He is trading to cover innings in 2027 and 2028. He will have to spend some $$$ to cover those 2026 innings with some short term vet contracts. He’s already said that the 2026 payroll will be similar to 2025.

Helsley was tipping his pitches . Mets saw Phillies swinging at fastballs but taking on sliders. Mendoza knew Phillies knew something Mets were not aware of yet.
Mets finally realized after hours of video work that Heldley had a slight tick with hid elbows when throwing one pitch vs the other.
Helsley then had some good innings after realizing that.
Without a doubt he was...

I’m not. But I’m not surprised he got that much. Everything you could read indicated he was in the $15 million dollar range yet the genius posters in here thought he would get $8 million or less, half his value.
As for the Cardinals he was too expensive considering all their needs and rebuild status.

Helsley signs with the St. Louis Browns. Nice.
He'll be coming to play in Sportsman's Park Busch III in late August.
