Nada on Nado. As of 3 p.m. Friday, the Cardinals still haven’t transferred their third baseman to the Dodgers, and this is flagrantly disrespectful to LA’s director of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. When he calls about a player, you have to give him the player,...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW I think it would be an overstatement to say that John Mozeliak’s legacy is totally on the line as he begins the process of resetting the Cardinals to pull them from a downward trend. But the president of baseball operations is in a tenuous spot,...
BIRD BYTES 1) Adam Wainwright delivered his best start of the season during his five innings of craftwork in Monday’s 10-6 win at Arizona. I didn’t know what to expect from Wainwright after he made the decision to rush back to the mound after a brief 20-day break from...
