Episode 261: Bench Clearing

For a team not in the playoffs, the Cardinals made quite a bit of news this week.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) go over all of it.  Adam Wainwright is coming back for another season.  Is that a surprise?  Does that mean that the Cards are set at pitcher?  Waino deferred some money in his new contract and John Mozeliak said that payroll will be going up.  Where is that money going?  Some may go to Nolan Arenado, who seems to be using his opt-out leverage in constructive ways.  But would he go somewhere else?  Mo also indicated there would be an outside addition at catcher.  How surprising was that and is Willson Contreras the answer?  Finally the guys get to the coaching changes and what kind of person might fill the void.  Come settle in and go over all the news!
