The St. Louis Cardinals announced on April 10 that one of the best players of the last decade, Matt Carpenter, would be sticking around for a while.
It started at about 1 pm in the afternoon when the team called a press conference without a known reason. This, of course, sent Twitter into a frenzy. Had the Cardinals signed a free agent? Was Harrison Bader or Jack Flaherty receiving an extension? For an amazingly long time, nobody found out about the meaning of the conference. Then about 15-20 minutes before the scheduled conference, Derrick Goold announced that Matt Carpenter was the man to be extended.
