l also think it’s sending a message to other prospects. You happily do what we tell you to do with training, play at this level etc. you don’t have to wait for 6 years in MLB to put millions in the bank. Take care of mom and dad.

they have the money. They have went cheap the last few years. It’s time to spend it, and not on a Dejong.
l want them to go hard after Manny. Whatever you think the top of the market could possibly be, pay top $, go first, get him in the #3 hole and we will be legitimate contenders again. |

So Lynn signed a 1/12 with the Twins. Rejected the 17.5 million qualifying offer from us.
Weird. We couldn't have brought him back for that? |

Appears the team has no interest in trying to bargain hunt with any of these vets that didn’t get big contracts.

Well that ****ing sucks. The pick attached to Lynn now comes after the second round, not the first, b/c he gets less than $50 million guaranteed.
So, they sign Mikolas for $2/15.5 and get a pick between the second and third round while Lynn goes for 1/12, and the average value of the pick that replaces him is 1.5 WAR, total. Mozeliak ****ed that deal up royally. |

Why they wouldn't offer him something like 3/36 after his market wasn't there is astonishing.

30 other teams took a pass on him. Why would it be so surprising that the Cardinals would pass too? |

Again, assuming that Lynn would take that deal, Mozeliak could have ended up paying Lynn and DeJong 12.5 million for 2018 and 2019, or he could pay Mikolas and DeJong the same amount. And think about all of the last "big" Cardinal prospects. Rasmus, Miller, Taveras, Martinez, Reyes. What makes you think that these young pitchers are a sure thing? |

Inexcusable letting him go for that.
