I got to meet Stan the man once. I was just at an elevator by the offices and he came around the corner to get on the elevator. Circa late 80’s. Was as nice as he could be. Shook everyone’s hand and we talked about the season. About 7 of us in the elevator. Not a one asked for an autograph.
Bengie Molina today on @101espn talking about Yadi’s desire to manage the St. Louis Cardinals and kicked around the idea of a staff that would include Albert Pujols as hitting coach and Adam Wainwright as pitching coach.

And why in the world would you want to put in that kind of work?
All that travel, the constant grind. So you can make a couple million/season tops when you've made $200+ million over the course of a career?
I just can't see how that would appeal to them. And ultimately if they realize that AFTER they get the job, they'll just start mailing it in. And that's not good for anyone either. [Reply]

This would definitely be a standard Dewitt move.
Molina saw managers hours and grief they put up with daily. He sucks, he ruins his reputation in STL. Yet, he still wants to manage? I guess they miss the competition and don’t know what to do with their lives post playing days. [Reply]

If they keep Helsley, you'll know that Mozeliak is still running the big league roster. [Reply]

When was it ever said that he wasn't going to be this next year? Everything I have seen or heard is that 2025 is his last and then he will move on to another position in the club. [Reply]
#stlcards have signed RHP Jan Ewing Cabrera, 19, a member of Cuba’s national team in 2022 and a standout for the under-18 team with a sub-0.30 ERA in that season.
Contract was finalized today. He’ll receive a $250,000 bonus, per source.
The rumor was he would waive for the Dodgers, Padres, Angels, Phillies, Mets, or Red Sox... so naturally you invest your time by striking a deal with the Astros. [Reply]
