Yesterday afternoon, former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Randal Grichuk made some comments regarding his former club and his time spent in St. Louis. After four very frustrating years, the Cardinals traded Grichuk to the Toronto Blue Jays last Friday for pitchers Dominic Leone and Conner Greene. The trade certainly polarized many in Cardinal Nation, but Grichuk’s comments yesterday might have sent many over the edge.
Even within our Redbird Rants writer group chat there was some debate after seeing Grichuk’s comments. Blue Jays play-by-play announcer Mike Wilner even noticed how polarized Cardinal fans were after the comments were made.
