The cardinals do not have a single outfielder that is a lock as an everyday starter.

They do, but only due to his salary, not his performance.

It’s a shame salary can get in the way of the ability to play the game .

I wish I could count on keeping my job simply because I was overpaid.  Hell I'd be happy with just being over paid.

Miller shut down while warming up yesterday.

But I’m sure it’s nothing.

The new Asian guy probably brought the coronavirus with him.

Yep. Can this preseason get any less promising? Of course, it's baseball, so we could be looking at a 100 win team.

Seems very odd that in a year MLB expands the rosters to 26, a utility player would walk out on a team. It seemed almost certain he would’ve made the team. I wish I had enough money to walk away from $500-600K.

From what I read he was likely to start the year as a starter in triple A

Cardinals announced they reached agreements with all of their “less than 3 year” players except for Flaherty. They renewed Flaherty, but imposed a $10,000 penalty against his salary for not accepting the team’s offer.

Enjoy the next few years of Jack Flaherty. When he hits free agency and signs a multi-million dollar contract with the Dodgers, I hope he writes Moz a $10,000 check, wipes his ass with it and throws it in his face on his way out the door.

 
Sounds similar to the way Pittsburgh treated Cole. It was crystal clear at that moment that he'd be gone as soon as he could.

Why would you nickel-and-dime Jack Flaherty, of all people?

And not to beat my favorite horse to death for the umpteenth time, but I watched a couple innings of the Asstros/Cardinals game the other day. Carpenter can't play third base any more. He can't move laterally and he doesn't have the arm to make the throw across the diamond.
Every inning he plays instead of Edman, the Cardinals are a weaker team.

Because the system allows them to.  It's a classic example of just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. If I'm Jack Flaherty, when the team approaches me to sign an extension--and you know they will at some point--I tell Moz to go fuck himself.

When exactly could carp play third?
