While baseball’s extended forecast shows a storm brewing between players and owners, the short-term snapshot is much sunnier for the Cardinals.
There might have been moments this (more like every) offseason when Cardinals fans wondered why their team was not doing more. Truth is, they have been one of the most active when it comes to moves made to improve. By trading young, cost-controlled players for premier first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, swapping a blocked player for one they think they will use in Drew Robinson and signing veteran free agent reliever Andrew Miller, the Cardinals accomplished more than most by the close of 2018.
