[QUOTE="GILL-INOIS, post: 2015509, member: 747818"] You also have to remember Arenado and Goldy came from losing cultures every season before joing STL. Cardinals had a bad season but usually in the playoff hunt. Arenado and Goldy love STL. Arenado is locked in by his choice. Goldy is a FA after this season and think it comes down to mutual respect on both sides not any ill feelings. I have no problem if Goldy wants to walk but the Cardinals should try to offer him a short extension(think they will). He is still one of the best 1B in the league at his age. I don't want to see Baker at 1B after this season. I have no idea what will happen, JMO Mo will step down after the 2025 season. Ton of short term contracts and guys in pre-/arbitration years right now. Setting up a bunch of decisions to be made for next guy in few years. Cardinals are setup to compete. I agree they need to spend more but they also must develop more. We aren't a club that will go over the tax threshold. If that is the way club is setup than we HAVE to develop starting pitching. Those pre-arbitration/arb years are essential for a franchise looking for balance on payroll. [/QUOTE]
