Today, I’ll be covering old news. Old news that barely registers as news. You see back on November 20th, when teams were finalizing their 40 man roster, the Cardinals also signed a few minor league deals. So this is over a month old news. And it’s covering minor league deals, so these could be described as inconsequential. Moves that the average fan will never need to know because they will never make an impact.
And for the most part, that’s true. The vast majority of minor league deals - and I don’t mean signed by the Cardinals specifically - are players in their late 20s who either never made the majors, or clearly didn’t succeed when they got their shot.
