They can use that cash to help pay for what they still owe to Mike Leake and Brett Cecil.Popeye_Card wrote:Well I've been saying for years that the Cardinals' biggest failures at the deadline have been not moving guys who have no purpose for lottery tickets at the deadline.
Gyorko did not have much of a purpose for the Cardinals for the rest of his contract. This was a really strange deal, but I'm not completely against saving some cash and getting a lottery ticket.
Presuming, of course, that they ever do something with the cash. Which seems increasingly unlikely each year.

Lots of 19 year olds throw much harder than that
Look at Guys drafted out of high school and their fastball speeds
Saying a 89 mph fastball is a main attraction for a 19 year old is pretty sad
