I'm curious why the Cardinals gave Andrew Miller $25M if they don't care about winning games.

Just a gift, because they like the guy?

You mean less guaranteed money than they gave Brett Cecil? And had a writer proclaim they were tired of being cheap? As the team has spent less on payroll to this point than they have last year?

It's not a complicated question.

Because they care about the appearance of trying to win.
Hahahaha

It certainly increases your odds of being an entitled, narcissistic [expletive].

Pardon the paraphrasing, and I've said this before, but all this talk about owners are cheap and analytics are bunk and/or a conspiracy is Cards Talk with better grammar. We've come full circle.

If we don't sign Harper, does that mean our season is over?
