Opening Day Projections: Payroll & Roster
Baseball is back from its extended lockout and so is transaction season! There was a flurry of roster moves across baseball this past week as GMs picked through the remaining free agents like snowbirds at a Florida swap meet. The trade market was lively.
The Cardinals prefer to play on the margins of such events, searching the corner booths for discounted treasures from peregrine lands – like Japan (via Detroit) and Cleveland.
Combined with their early-season blue-light rotation special, Steven Matz, the Cardinals are likely done shopping for pitchers.
On the other side of the diamond, there might be a little more work to do.
