I realize it is only December, but the St. Louis Cardinals’ have all but told us that there is not going to be any “dynamic signings” this offseason. The fan base is scrambling, and already have the team finishing behind the Pirates and Cubs next season.
A loss of fWAR is a bit of a concern for the team, as according to Fangraphs, the team has lost 12.7 fWAR this offseason by losing Jason Heyward and John Lackey to the Cubs, and losing Lance Lynn to Tommy John surgery.
Today I want to talk about the fWAR problem the Cardinals have for next season.
