Granted, Miller wasn’t all that much better than that... |

Andrew Miller is just going to be another version of him. Andrew Miller is the kind of guy you build, not buy. But hey - POWDER BLUES!!! Yeah, I'm gonna have a fantasy baseball season. Gonna watch way more other teams than the Cardinals this year. Im done with this braindead leadership.

Another reliever coming off a bad season to presumably decent sized money. Nice work keeping the streak alive on those for 3rd concecutive year.

I know you guys are down on it, but I think there’s a very good chance the Cardinals just bought a few years of elite relief pitching at a decent discount.
Miller was his usual self until hitting the DL in May and was never right afterwards, as he tried to gut through being less than healthy and struggled. Compared to the pricetag in prospects on a guy like Will Smith, just spending some dollars on Miller seems like a better calculated risk to me. He didn’t get a franchise tag, as far as I know, so it’s just a matter of money.

I wanted Miller or Britton. But then, there’s also no point for us paying for anybody at all.

It's especially true with older pitchers and the track record of shoulder injuries in this league is simply AWFUL. Fortunately his knee issues were with his landing leg and not his drive leg, but there's still a chance that they resurface and if so they'll absolutely create problems. Tendinitis is a bitch and I see no reason to believe it will just be gone and done with at any point for the rest of his career. I mean the only thing that could make his injury history worse is if you threw a back injury on top of it. Knee and shoulder issues for a pitcher are just the worst for me. You take away a pitcher's lower half and then have an issue with the orneriest joint in God's creation...ugh, that's just a terrible combination.

I'd have FAR preferred to make a move for Mike Minor. It's not even a close question.

2/$25 mill with a vesting option for a third is what I’m finding. Option is for $12 mil and kicks in at 110 appearances. Full no trade clause

Why on Minor? He’s owed a few million less bucks a year, but has never been as good as Miller at his best and has an even more troubling injury history, including ongoing shoulder issues. And he would come with a prospect cost (though considering what Texas just accepted in return for Profar, maybe not that bad). I get/see your reservations but think there’s a lot more upside here than you’re seeing at the moment. And I get that. Mozeliak’s FA signing record has been poor the past few years. We give Moore a hard time for the Kennedy contract (yes, even me now), and Mozeliak has 3 that bad in the past 2 FA cycles in Fowler, Holland, and Cecil.

It would be nice if someone would update the OP with all of our moves this offseason.
