If you think about it, it's pretty amazing the Cardinals are even here. They are, by far, the worst of all of these teams. Their offense is an absolute abomination. Edman led the team in wRC and his total would rank 65th if the league, if he even qualified. After that it was Goldschmidt, who would be 87th.
They only have two of the top 110 hitters in baseball. We should probably enjoy the ride, and hope that the FO is smart enough to realize that this team is not that good (fat chance, though).

Average team with a terrible GM...what could go wrong. It's not a terrible roster, but we expect more than most

I would just kill myself if I was a Twins fan and knew I had to play the Yankees in the playoffs

MLB needs a hard salary cap like the NFL.

not happening. Tried really hard in the 90’s almost killed the game. Only McGuire/Sosa HR race pulled it out of the abyss.

Imagine if the NFL had fully guaranteed contracts that wouldn't allow teams to bend their salary cap to their needs.
Does the hard cap increase the odds of the little guys being able to compete? Is that why the superbowl is losing millions of viewers each year because everyone is sick to ****ing death of the Patriots? |

No it was not. That was from the strike.

The Yankees haven’t dominated the sport since then. They won one World Series title in the last 15 years, the same amount as the Royals and one less than the Cardinals. Calling the Yankees the equivalent of the Patriots is both insulting to the Patsies and a compliment not worthy of the Yankers. |
