New: The Cardinals are gearing up for a big ask for more public funding for Busch Stadium. The team president compares the potential scale of the project to two other franchises that each obtained more than $500M in public funds for stadium upgrades. https://t.co/gOUFOFmeT3

In their defense, they haven't yet. This was a particularly poorly timed leak.
They're going to get shot down and ideally it convinced DeWitt to sell the team. That's really the only path out of this shit. DeWitt simply doesn't care about building a winner anymore.
It's an investment mechanism for him.
So cash out and buy land, my guy. They ain't making any more of it... [Reply]

Why are they sending Scott down? Pallante has always sucked.
Who are the two that they are bringing up?
Because Scott should've never EVER been up.
The question isn't why they're sending him down - it's why they had him on a big league roster to begin with. Sending him up here to die is not developing a young player. It's throwing shit at the wall.
He had to go down. He wasn't going to improve getting obliterated. And frankly, he probably shoudl've been sent to AA. He didn't look like a guy who can excel even in Memphis. The bat just has way too far to go still. [Reply]
Scott would have put up a historically bad season if he stayed up here. He was on pace to be -8 win player. Calling him up was totally irresponsible. [Reply]

You misspelled how to identify any and all talent and effectively use what talent they have.
Hell at this point I'm not even blaming the players, everyone seems to play below their expected norms under this organization now. It's cultural rot that's the issue. [Reply]
Final stat for ya, then I'll scram: since the start of the 2017 season, the Cardinals have outspent the Brewers $1.2 billion to $770 million (approximately) on 26-man payroll. Winning percentage: Milwaukee .557, St. Louis .527.
