The Chicago Cubs made a stunning move on Monday, finalizing terms on a five-year, $40 million contract to lure manager Craig Counsell away from the Milwaukee Brewers. The deal took shape after a clandestine meeting in early November between Counsell and Cubs president...
No one is required to like Willson Contreras or accept the popular view that the Cardinals made a helluva smart move by signing the free-agent catcher to a five-year, $87.5 million contract. I just wish dissenters would be more fact-based in their objections on the...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals have set up headquarters at Wrigley Field, where they’ll play five games in four days. The action begins tonight at 7:05 p.m. The Cardinals are perky these days, having gone 9-3 in their last 12 games including the three-game brooming...
After John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt Jr. fired Mike Shildt, “Mo” said he didn’t have to venture far to find the next manager. Every indication is that the Cardinals plan to keep the job in the family. The Redbird family. Now, that doesn’t mean management will follow...
