    Big news today. Ohtani goes to the Angels and Stanton has rejected offers from both the Giants and Cardinals.

    and it seems like Stanton will go to Yankee Stadium -- can't think of a team that needs him more

    I ain't worried about losing Stanton. We'll find somebody cheaper and more productive. I'm still worried about pitching, defense and speed. Although the most recent World Series we've won didn't really feature all of those things, it's still a staple of Cardinal baseball that's been missing the past two seasons. It always starts and ends with pitching, and we've signed a couple of relatively unknown relievers due for bouncback seasons, Luke Gregorson and Miles Mikolas. If only one of them pans out, it's good business, but if both do, that's a bonus. We've tended to wait until all the dust settles on the big deals, then try to find bargains, but that tactic may not work any more, given our current state. I guess we'll just see what we'll see. I still believe in the ownership group headed by Bill DeWitt and the management team, with John Mozeliak in charge. Wouldn't mind stealing Jeff Luhnow back from the Astros, but that's not likely. I think he'll be well compensated to stay put.

    @nevzter , 2017 ending w/some big moves. The Giants reportedly have traded for Evan Longoria. @jumpkutz, James how many days until pitchers/catchers report?

    We're in the void. Thank goodness for Harold Reynolds and Billy Ripken on MLB Network.
