Please stop.
I had this conversation for weeks last year. I was told that we fleeced the diamondbacks and the Phillies were crazy.
Because, y'know, I have some concept of the idea of surplus value.
I have no idea how millions of dollars worth of front office executive does not.
Now it all just gives me a sad. Because the Cardinals will not be in a situation for years if not decades where a 26 year old FA who perfectly fits their needs and is likely heading to Cooperstown is ready to leave his team AND the biggest pockets in MLB are sitting it out.
I mean there is truly no justification at all for how the Cardinals approached last offseason and it really should've cost them all their jobs.
Instead they got extensions. Because....reasons.
