The 2019 iteration of the St. Louis Cardinals were supposed to be the year that the team went for it all. It was written in all the papers, all the blogs, but it seemed like it might’ve been just lip service, even at the time when it was said.
Looking at what was said at the beginning of the year right now, it was quite clearly lip service. After doing nothing at the deadline, the team has played uninspired and it’s not hard to see why. The front office let the team down when they said they were going to invest in the team and then did nothing.
