For the first time since at least when there was some buzz about the Cardinals maybe signing Bryce Harper (which if you remember correctly, peaked when Harper and Nelly appeared in a video together), this offseason brings about a lot of uncertainty. We’ve had quite a string of predictable offseasons. There were no real questions about what would happen. Part of that was the Cardinals more or less told us, but another part is just recognizing how John Mozeliak operated.
For this offseason, we have a perfect storm. There’s a brand new man in charge, Chaim Bloom. By itself, I don’t think a new name would mean anything, because the owner is the same.
