My prediction: We sign Robert for a total of $65 mil. Yours?

This is embarrasing

Completely agree. Every time something like this happens, I believe the ownership saying they care about the quality of the team a little bit less.

For some people, it's prospects; for me, it's the big free agents... but there is no denying this team cheapens out. It really seems like ownership is finding its sweet spot of 85-87 wins and hoping to make the playoffs because that's where they maximize profits.

If they don't land a Machado or someone down the road here, I have no idea what they plan to spend all this new TV money on. Maybe nothing I guess.

Unless the Cardinals offered 50M+, I'm pretty irritated.

They shoot for 2nd place, whether it's in the standings or in signing free agents.
