Willson Contreras speaks his mind, and that makes his words carry more weight, both in the good and the bad.
Over the last week, different members of the St. Louis Cardinals have become more candid about the future of the club, in large part due to hearing from Chaim Bloom themselves. Sonny Gray, Nolan Arenado, Brendan Donovan, and Willson Contreras all keep reiterating the same thing — a rebuild is coming.
While we've seen those reports for a while now and it's been pretty clear to the fanbase that this is the direction they'll be heading in, it's a whole different thing to hear players not only acknowledge what we observe, but to put Bloom's own words to it as well.
