In regards to the Cardinals in 2021, the reality of reality is concessions — as in making them, because last season you couldn’t buy them. And that’s how the Cardinals and other teams are operating in this new reality — without ticket buyers in 2020, they don’t have the means to spend freely. So we make concessions — the Cardinals’ 2021 offense won’t be vastly improved, because the Cards imply they can’t afford to purchase the production of, say, a George Springer or other A-list free agents. The reality about the offense leads to much consternation around Cardinal Nation, and that’s fair.
