The single biggest issue the team has is its internal player evaluation system. That's what has hurt them in so many trades and extensions. If you can't separate luck from skill and recognize aging curves, you end up extending guys like Mikolas and Carpenter when you could just let them play out their deals.

Jeff Bridich, whose tenure with the Colorado Rockies was defined by his falling out with and subsequent trade of franchise player Nolan Arenado, is out as the team's general manager, the team announced Monday.

The Rockies announced that Bridich, 43, and the club "mutually agreed" to part ways, less than three months after Bridich dealt Arenado to the St. Louis Cardinals for a less-than-overwhelming return - and sent along $50 million to help the Cardinals pay Arenado's salary.

I know we lost today but for the first time in quite some time, I feel a sense of optimism coming from behind that I haven't felt in some time.

Yup, yet we keep running Carp out there. And Pujols got DFA'd with better numbers than Carp.

That has to be one of the worst contracts ever signed in MLB history though. 10 years $245MM for a JAG or worse.

It’s been said many times - we got the best years of his career, and those idiots paid for them.

He hit .328/.420/.617 with 445 home runs in 11 seasons with the Cardinals and is a career .298/.376/.545 hitter in over 12,000 plate appearances.

In parts of 10 seasons with the Angels, Pujols authored a .256/.311/.447 batting line with 222 home runs in 1,181 games, though he's hit only .240/.289/.405 in nearly 2,000 plate appearances since 2017.

Ouch!

It was the best 11 years any player ever had. We got to see them all. No player, Ruth, Gehrig, Mays, Mantle etc. had a better consecutive 11 years than Pujols.

I was pissed that he left but it ended up being a good thing. Pujols made us championship relevant again after decades. For the rest of his life, he will deserve every standing ovation he gets from Cardinal fans.

so...since they released him, is he still obligated to still work for them for the 10 years after he retires like his contract supposedly said?

Apparently the reason he was released was because he wanted a chance to play 1B full time. Clearly not going to happen in St. Louis.

at this point in his career, demanding to play full time? With his injury history? Decline in production?

The only teams that would do that is non-contending teams looking to boost attendance.

Their DH slot was also pretty blocked by a pitcher.
