Bernie: McGreevy service time could be why he's not here

I have a hunch that major-league service time is a factor in some personnel decisions; rookie starting pitcher Michael McGreevy is an example. Despite his talent, McGreevy has appeared in only six games (four starts) for the Cardinals over the last two seasons. The brief time in the majors means (to this point) that McGreevy won’t be eligible for arbitration until 2028, and can’t become a free agent until 2031. If incoming president of baseball ops Chaim Bloom sees McGreevy as a potential rotation fixture, then it makes sense to take the long view of McGreevy’s service time. All major-league teams do these kinds of things.

So this shows they are not concerned with winning this year if you don’t play your best players. Might as well start the selling sooner than later

The Cardinals are not manipulating anyone's service time. This has been demonstrated over and over again. McGreevy belongs in the rotation and until there is an injury or they move Pallante to the bullpen, opportunity isn't there.

If Bernie has a hunch that Chaim Bloom might feel that way, well that's good enough for me.

Ensuring your top players have an extra year in the organization should be a very high priority! ESPECIALLY in a year that is considered a 'rebuild year'!

This is correct.
