I’m sure you have noticed, as many of us at Redbird Rants have, the off-season isn’t exactly the Hot Stove as in years passed. It’s more symbolic of the brutal cold weather gripping a majority of the nation right now. The Cold Stove certainly has dampened any hopes of the St. Louis Cardinals finishing 2017 with a bang, but just a couple of weeks ago you’d have thought differently.
While a majority of the team’s news focused on Manny Machado or Josh Donaldson, I was still looking for any news regarding Alex Colome and the Tampa Bay Rays.
