Kind of hope the Cubs make a play for Cesar Hernandez. He sounded like he was expecting a trade and the Phillies gave Kingery a 6 year deal who is playing SS but is really a 2B. With Russell likely done as a Cub, Hernandez would fill the void at 2B and leadoff.
and your probably right. Philly is the consensus favorite. But, as I said the Cardinals can easily afford to increase their payroll $20 million a year. The issue for us is the owners and FO reluctance to get out of their comfort zone. To take a leap of faith. They are very risk adverse.
