I would say even if Dewitt gives the greenlight(highly unlikely) to Bloom to make him the best offer possible that it’s still highly unlikely likely he chooses STL over LA, Philly, Seattle or either New York.

The days of STL as a MLB destination has been ruined.

Banner , you hit on something others often miss. St. Louis could have the highest offer yet not land the player. Some claim Toronto had a better offer on the table than LAD for Ohtani but the West Coast proximity to Japan made LA a more desirable for him than eastern Canada.
Pretty tough for someone to pass on major market areas New York , LA to want to play in St. Louis . Don't like to type that since I am a St. Louis native and enjoyed growing up there but others see other places as more desirable.

All 30 MLB teams have 45 days to negotiate with him.
25 yr. Old slugger was 2022 mvp and Japan wbc champions in 2023.

He is power bat though he is left handed ..last 8 years had 246 HR and .851 ops
Nice size 6-2 213

Imagine signing him for 3rd base( he plays 1st also..
Trade Gorman or Contreras ). .
With the $$$ saved on Nado, Gray, Contrereas put that savings for a young power bat. Cards could sure use one.

Think we know who the big bidders will likely be.
Nice dream though . Bloom could sure make Cardinal fanbase excited with that one move.

100% real. Why did Stanton refuse to come to STL? It isn't a major city. Also have to consider endorsements income is WAY higher in TOR or NYC or LA than STL. Plus (guessing since I've not set foot in STL since 1970) there is very little in asian culture in Missouri. Hoping for Mamdani is a pipe dream.
