But................. That doesn't mean the Cardinals shouldn't spend money. Yeah, your GM ****ed up, you just extended his contract. Your going to back him? Okay, make good on his ****ups or at least try. You paid $75 million in cash for the franchise. It's worth $2 Billion now. Ballpark Village is making money hand over fist. 3 million through the turnstiles every year. You said you'd put the profits into the team. It's time to open up the checkbook Dewitt to cover your GM's mistakes or at least try to.
Yeah, you spent money. Badly. You need to make it right. They should knowingly throw some money down the tube at the end of Harper's contract to strengthen our line up for the next 3-4 years.
