This is on Bill DeWitt Jr. For some weird reason, he continues to live in fantasy land and wants to continue to reward Mozeliak for winning the 2011 World Series which apparently meant a lifetime contract and Mozeliak’s choice to step down when he saw fit. It’s bizarre. You can mention making postseason all you want, but honestly Mozeliak hasn’t done much since 2013. And the one manager he hired who was worth a damn he fired because he had the nerve to challenge his authority. Well you see what Shildt is doing for the Padres. So tell me why Mozeliak has been allowed to overstay his welcome……..
Mo is being rewarded for helping to procure all of the massive tax breaks and free cash handed out by the city, county, and state for the stadium and Ballpark Village. He also helped get Dewitt the current tv contract. Don't be delusional. Billionaires care for nothing over growing their net worth, and Mo has done a great job of that. Dewitt is not going to fire a front office person before their contract ends, as the front office people know all of the shenanigans that were pulled to get those tax incentives. Notice that Girsch was moved into a "VP of Special Projects" role. This is what large corporations do when they want an executive gone, but they don't want that executive talking to the press. He'll get paid to not show up to work unless specifically told to do so once in a blue moon until his contract ends.
they spent yrs trading away prospects that turn into stars, and now look at them, maybe they should have been building instead of getting old vets all the time
In all fairness, Goldy and Arenado were pretty awful in big games (2/22 in the playoffs with zero RBI in 2021 & 2022). Both were terrible with RISP in 2023 and 2024. Both cost the Cards a significant amount of wins.
@@creepycrespi8180 LOL...do you think THIS team has WS-winning rotation? They are the definition of mediocrity -- as the team has been for the past decade.
Red Sox guy here… You guys have got that guy that will take you beyond NL spending bs. You will have guys that will be the Roman Anthony of the NL and many more prospects that will turn out. The Red Sox messed up letting him go and I know the Cardinals will win soon.
Red Sox fan here too-- you might also have a guy who'll destroy your pitching depth, go bargain bin shopping to help the major league lineup, and give you a team that is a combined 10 games over .500...across 4 years. And unlike the Sox who bombed in the COVID year, the Cardinals can't pick earlier than 10th because the Cards probably pay into the revenue sharing system.
Did the Cardinals spend too much of their money on ballpark village and reduce the money on the minors. This year payroll was somewhere around $160 million. The Cardinals could have spent $5 million less on payroll and put it in the minors. The team wouldn’t looked much different.
Honestly, I am happy Schildt was firing. Strictly so he wouldn't be apart of this dumpster fire. So happy for his success in San Diego. Insane what Mo did to a guy who bled Cardinal red and did nothing but win games.
@@roberthaizlip4057 Hell of a lot better than that dude did last year, and his roster was ultra ultra loaded. A lot of those dudes are homegrown in the lineup, but yeah, that rotation is Pricey!
Having Moz remain the voice and hand behind the tiller is madness. Been a fan for 60+ years. He is lost in his own hubris. Woefully tone deaf and out of his depth. The MLB coaching staff destroys young players once they arrive. Sure the MiL system needs retooling. However, players arrive ready. They are successful, and then the foolishness they have to endure destroys them. Players are fine. It is the leadership of Moz and the woeful coaching they get when they reach the parent club. As Bernie Mikolas says; “it’salarming….madness.” “I don’t know how they could have handled it worse. Thinking the Dewitt’s are losing massively in the ballpark village and the upcoming season’s ticket sales. Hoping the team is bought by a Steve Cohen type whale. A fan, who puts his love into the team, and has the money to treat it as a love, like a child you spend money on to help succeed.
Amidst the collapse of traditional media, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (P-D) still serves as the journalistic repository for daily Cardinals coverage, and the paper devotes significant resources to that dept. Yet, Katie Woo's coverage of the club in the Athletic is akin to St. Louis having a second newspaper devoted solely to the team; she functions as an entire sports dept rolled into one. Clearly, the Athletic recognizes her utility in that respect especially considering how many MLB clubs DON'T have dedicated reporters on their platform. The underlying problem in sports journalism is journalists' dependence on the clubs they report on for access - to off-the-record conversations, post-game interviews, etc., instilling a quality of self-censorship in their reporting. Katie Woo operates under no such imperative. Her recent expose of the faultlines in the organization is a story only she could write. There are many talented reporters on the P-D's staff of the P-D, but no other reporter bears the same singular authority she does. We're lucky to have her and lucky that the Athletic provides her unfettered access to cover this club w/ diligence and integrity.
If you don't wanna pay attention to this team anymore for years doesn't mean didly squat. I mean why do we have to watch Dewitt, Mo destroy this team even more.
Bringing back Mo is such a joke. Just do a clean break and start anew with Bloom in 2025. Instead they again prioritized loyalty above good sense (just like with Matheny, but curiously not with Shildt).
Bruh Marmol definitely shouldn't be back for 2025 cardinals need another manager his staff and coaches kept getting every player on the injured list every week every month
Marmol should have been fired yesterday. I quite watching and going to the games in July and if Marmol is back next year I won’t watch I’m not gonna buy game tickets to watch that again which will what happen if him and his inept staff are back.
There was no shakeup with the Cardinals. Both the manager, who doesn’t know how to use the players to their best and a president of baseball operations who has competent for the fans , doesn’t know how evaluate talent, says word salads, is a better museum director, get to stay on all because they have1 year left on their contracts . There was just a piece meal change to speak of . What Cardinals owner Bill Dewitt Jr said amounted to a “ broken record “ of repeated phrases that have been spoken before.
I'm not familiar with the stuff Chaim Bloom has done, but I've heard he is not the solution to the problem. But the thing is why would you announce that's he's taking over later now...? Now you got the Cardinals' current guy as being just there for one more year lol. Then he's getting booted because another guy is taking over. Why didn't you just announce it at the end of next season?
So the cardinals are going to be spending less money than the Colorado Rockies next year, the team we got arenado from and then lied and told him we’d build a championship around him. lol 😂
Teams that are monetarily constrained rebuild. The Cardinals have resources. Leadership doesn’t want to spend any money because they aren’t interested in the club. Listening to Dewitt talk about this team breaks my heart.
It is a shame that as the A's and Rays have found ways to win on smaller budgets, large market teams are using these methods to pocket the money. If I were in the union, I'd start talking about collusion and a strike.
Lol what have the Cardinals won recently? They've been heading in this direction for over a decade. There's never been any upward trajectory during that time. Oh they won a single playoff series on that time and when they snuck in the other few times they've been getting dogwalked right back out
Katie touched on it but should have expanded on it. The Cardinals have been drawing 3 MILLION fans for years. If spent properly they had enough resources to pay the big league club AND have a first-class development program. They never did go after 'whale' free agents. They should have had enough to do both so the question remains, Katie, just where did all those resources go?
Makes sense to keep Mo next year and give Bloom an opportunity to roam the minors. Would be hard to do if he was running the big league club. I've been a fan for 60 years, witnessed peaks and valleys. The Cardinals will be ok.
Ah, and ownership has taken STL fans for granted. They will not travel across entire states to see low-payroll dreck. This is what the end of an era looks like, kids. Hubris and deceit bring a once-proud franchise to its knees.
Is there any chance they cud get Cowtreras to switch over first base - not because he's a bad catcher, but because there is a need for 1st after Goldy leaving, and the catcher and back-up catcher can be filled by Herrera and Pages? Maybe half time at first, half time DH, switching with Burleson, and maybe catching every now and then? I would really love to hang on to him and Arenado and Grey to build around if possible...
I don't get it. Almost made the playoffs this year and now tear it down? All they needed to do was swap the big contracts, Arenado, Goldy, Contreras, Gray (about 100 million) and allocated that to 2 front line starters and couple of bench bats extend Helsley still have about 30 mil left for minors reset and run it back.
I would encourage everyone to do what I’m doing. No money to the team. Not a dime. No merch, no cable, no Bally+ app. Empty the stadium and let DeWittless feel it. Vote down stadium upgrades. He thinks Mo’s “leadership” is acceptable and Olis coaching was not the problem? Cool, fuck you Dewitt. I’ll watch highlights on RUclips and listen to guys like a Bernie. Don’t give another dime to that team next season., not until Mos gone and Olis gone. If I were Bloom, I’d run. Mark my word, Mo is going to be given credit for Blooms work.
So paul goldschmidt was making, what? 27 million a year? I like goldy, but the last 2 years, you can get production like that out of a pre arbitration guy. So that's 26 million a year you can move into the farm. That alone should be enough. Minor league personnel don't make much, it's a stepping stone. I just don't wanna see the dewitts use this as an excuse to COMPLETELY tear it down.
I'm totally okay with the "rebuild". Been saying it for years that they actually needed to do this. You cant do the same things for 20+ years and at some point, not have issues and not have to do some rebuilding. I'm cool with it. Let's go!
Let us not be in such a hurry to pass judgement on the Cardinals ownership or management, as the team only missed the playoffs by six wins this season. While the Cardinals did not hit as many home runs this season, a lot of this might be due to the laces on the ball as opposed to the hardness of the ball. This allowed pitchers to throw breaking pitches that moved much greater than prior years. Hitting a round ball with a round bat is extremely hard and the enhanced breaking of the ball has made this even more difficult. The umpires have not helped the Cardinals this year calling obvious balls as strikes.The Cardinals have several players that know the strike zone and there is a huge difference between and two and one count and a one and two count caused by umpires who do not consistently call the same strike zone. Busch Stadium requires a much bigger blast to hit a home run as opposed to most other ball parks and the enhanced laces on this year's ball may have been a factor in so many balls that were warning track outs. They were also a victim of many dink hits by their opponents this year. They obviously need to enhance their training and minor leagues. Major league players, in most cases, are extremely arrogant and not willing to listen to advanced hitting and pitching techniques, but hopefully they will pay attention in this off season. Paying a pitcher fifteen to twenty-five million dollars for four wins over 500 is a preposterous business decision. Some of the advanced pitching instructions have allowed increases in fast balls by as much as five miles per hour. There is a tremendous difference between a 93 MPH fast ball that moves and a 98 MPH fast ball that moves. The proposed rule change of forcing the starting pitcher to go six innings will also be a factor in next year's results. I however believe that enhancing the minor league operations and promoting advanced pitching and hitting techniques is extremely important for the future and that will make the Cardinal team even better in the future.
People need to understand the Cardinals were one win a month away from the playoffs. With that said I have been complaining for several years now the Cardinals were not drafting right and developing players. They wasted a perfect opportunity with Goldy and Nado, got them and then completely stopped.
Bill DeWitt acting like he isn't making money with this franchise...whatever. I'm glad they are putting more money into the minor league system, but buying low hanging fruit as a band-aid and not getting what they really need has always been the Cardinals problem.
The question is where has the money gone? We rank in the middle of the pack as far as payroll. How have other teams maintained payroll and invested at the same time? Ownership chose this path
My sister was offered a ticket to a Cardinals baseball game in St. Louis, but she's not a baseball fan. I'm a Toronto Blue Jays fan myself. Go, Jays, Go!⚾️🇨🇦
I fear that Katie was unwittingly duped into forwarding a false narrative from ownership by her sources. This organization is swimming in revenue. They can absolutely bump up spending on player development significantly without cutting MLB payroll and still be extremely profitable. In terms of revenue the closest comp to the Cardinals is Atlanta. The Braves have a great development system and do not go cheap on big league payroll.
Katie Woo is more in touch with the overall state of the Cardinals than the actual front office of the Cardinals.
