Oli was probably told if Sonny struggles leave him in there, so he is so embarrassed that he will be willing to waive his NTC

Cards would eat a lot of the $$$. to move him .
Won’t get much in return but someone would want him as backend starter for a decent price .

Definitely not the first time we've needed him to step up and he's let us down

Exactly. He’s maybe 3 in a WS contender post season rotation. But he’s probably the best trade chip we’ve got if not for the NT clause.

Gray is another example of why we need a salary cap in baseball. No reason for this F to be making more than 10M a year.

Salary cap or not……teams will always make some poor personnel decisions…

I had a feeling he might get bombed in that pinball Palace down there.

I think it was the Cardinals who bought the bait, right? Assuming people who believed Sonny was a true ace are the fish in your metaphor.
