B-Schaeff Daily: St. Louis Cardinals Talk, Every Day

Brenden Schaeffer gives his reaction to the press conference held by the Cardinals on Monday in which the club announced that Chaim Bloom will take over at president of baseball operations, but not until after one more year.

The Cardinals' complacency is going to lead to a rebuild, whether the club wants you to call it that or not. They fell behind in areas that are now going to require their full attention as they scale back the payroll in the big leagues, potentially selling off star pieces to do it.

Are you buying the direction of the Cardinals after Monday's press conference?
