Why the angst over losing a .250ish hitter who never hit more than low 20 HR’s in his prime?

Guy also can’t field his position.
Why are people so attached to their ego?
It’s okay you were wrong about a baseball man not baseballing very good.
Like, you’ll be okay to accept that you were wrong. Life will go on. In fact, you may develop some character by humbling yourself.
WC is a cross-eyed low IQ self identified hero who has never hit more than 24 HR’s in his career and spent most of his prime hitting like .240
He’s too intellectually slow (see cross-eyes and emotional instability) to play the catching position.
It’s amazing to me so many of you liked his signing.
It’s even more amazing you thought look-at-me rage was ‘leadership’.
It’s certainly why the generations of most of Cards Talk have been massively fooled by every major event of the 20th and 21st century.

Ok
I like Contreras but agree it was time to move on.
He can be replaced.
But as usual you went over the top and off the deep end!

Other than simply being terribly wrong about his fielding at 1B, which was good, you are simply being cruel and nasty.

Sounds like Santa dumped in your stocking and it went right to your head.

Agree. I like Contreras but I’m not silly enough to believe he can’t be replaced. He was what he was meant to be when the cardinals got him which is a complimentary player to arenado and goldy who were supposed to be the big bats in the lineup. They flamed out spectacularly and Contreras was thrust into the spotlight of having to be the guy which he isn’t and was never meant to be. Like I said burleson will replace Contreras numbers easily and either they bring in a platoon bat that the platoon will easily replace Burlesons numbers last season or he trades for an everyday young player who can replace those numbers.

Willson Contreras has a career batting average of .258, with 172 home runs and 548 runs batted in as of the end of the 2025 season. He has been selected as an All-Star three times and was part of the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs team.
2.5 WAR in 2025. Pretty consistently about a 3 WAR player. He was 4th on the team in WAR. Only Gray, Winn and Donovan had more. So how do you feel now?

He was meant to be the catcher, which became a failed situation a month into his tenure.
He was then moved to 1B to be a 30 HR hitter, which he couldn’t do (bc he never has).
WC caused nothing but problems since day 1.
His 90 million should have been allocated to pitching.
He blocked the catching development of Herrera.
He stole so many DH at bats from others.
He stunted the 1B development of Burleson.
He was paid a lot of money to fail at his signed position and hit .260 with mild power while blocking others.
The Cubs made the right decision to walk away and they succeeded.
The Brewers made the right decision to acquire his younger, better brother and they succeeded.
It was a stupid deal from day 1 and way too many Cardinal fans supported it.

I don't think anyone has any angst over this...at all.

The fact people are talking about him at all shows how far this team has fallen.

They moved him to first because arenado and goldy crashed and burned and they needed a first baseman to replace goldy at first and needed to keep his bat as healthy as possible to replace them. It was a good signing that turned out to be a bad signing not because of him but because of goldy and arenado crashing and burning

He’s really good at 1b and is beloved by teammates and coaches.

No angst.
Ever.
Never for or against any player.
Only analysis.
Free of bias.
Free of agenda.
All I do.

I just think that if W.C., was in fact cross-eyed, then he may go down as one of the best ever to play the game! Imagine hitting all that velo and break in today's game by watching it come at you cross-eyed? Apparently, I never gave W.C. the kudos he deserved. 1st Ballot if not for his vision impairment for sure!

You can blame all of this on the dolt who signed him.

Some of your post sounds mean spirited, although I don’t disagree with most of it. When the Cards signed WC, I was hoping they would sign Kodai Senga for the same money.
