Also, next season is basically a write off, correct?

And probably 2 seasons after that, yes. If you're extremely lucky and there are no setbacks with any of the developmental pitchers, you might see a return to legitimate relevance in 2027.

But this season and next? Eh, nothing worth noting.

Ownership has established that they're working with a hard cap. So no reinforcements of note are on the way.

Oh they could maybe sneak in with the 2nd wildcard next season - all you have to be is 6th best in a 15 team league. So slightly above average. It could happen.

But it probably won't. And if it does, I'll still miss it.

I don't know how to root for a team run by the BD3. He's just such a monumental prick. Good things for the cardinals just make him money. And provide him with some belief in his own greatness. I'm just not excited about that prospect.
