The Cardinals are having their annual winter warm-up this weekend, and I don't know how much they'll be able to do to warm the mood of their fans in an offseason that's had no action, no movement, no excitement ... and no reason to get excited. This has been an offseason of cost-cutting so I hope the Cardinals won't turn down the heat to save money.

In this video, I also talk about some of the positive prospect ratings for several Cardinals' minor-leaguers, but wonder if top position-player prospect JJ Wetherholt will have his path to the majors blocked if the Cardinals are stuck with Nolan Arenado beyond 2025.
