Wilson Contreras now a Cardinal. Wow. [View all]
I was hoping for Murphy from the A's because he's younger and a better defender, but the A's wanted too many of our youngsters.
One thing that the Mozeliak has consistently refused to do is over pay with prospects... Except for sending Alcantara to Florida for a wife beating outfielder that only stayed for 2 seasons.
That Cy Young left a welt lemme tell ya.
Anyway, all we needed to get an all star caliber backstop was cash, $87M over 5 years.
I hope Donovan and Nootbaar develop into all stars. This is twice that the Cards front office stepped away from deals rather than include them in the package.
