Meanwhile Girsch once again said nothing, because he doesn't exist and I've proven it.

[Here’s the question: if Mozeliak didn’t go big to invest in his pitching-rich, hitting-challenged team in 2015, or did nothing to help postseason contenders for three straight seasons (2016-18) and stood pat instead of boosting postseason-bound clubs in 2019 and 2020 …. well, why should we anticipate any meaningful action this time around?
Over the past five or six years the explanations haven’t changed. They’re all connected.
1–We just didn’t think the team was strong enough to justify giving up young talent, prospects, in trades.
2–Don’t want to mortgage the future.
3-Not willing to give up a top prospect for a rental player.
4–The price was too high — so many other teams were looking for pitching (or whatever) and we weren’t willing to give up top prospects in an overpay.
5–We made a thousand calls and exchanged a million texts but ultimately just couldn’t get anything done. But we really tried. It’s frustrating.
This year, at least so far, we’re hearing variations of all the above.
In other words: selections from Mo’s Greatest Hits.

No way in hell am I giving up Winn for two months of Story when we have very little chance of the playoffs and it would be a one-game playoff if we did.
The Cardinals perpetual fence-sitting is annoying.
