Retrospective: The 1995-96 Cardinals Off-Season

I’ve covered a lot of off-seasons through the years. It’s a perfect type of article in January when the hot stove cools off. Can’t look forward? Look backward. In the past, I’ve looked at a few pivotal off-seasons of the 1980s, some frustrating ones from the 90s, and a few off-seasons in the 2000s. The one I haven’t reviewed- until today- is the magical four month run that ushered in the DeWitt era in St. Louis, arguably one of the best off-season hauls in franchise history. Let’s finally give that off-seasons its due. Today, we’ll hop in the time machine and look back at the 1995-1996 off-season.
