We are now more than one year into the rebuild, regardless of how the Cardinals front office and ownership have changed the branding. There have been some notable […]

The baseball world continues to slumber, as the only news to come during this holiday period was Tyler Soderstrom of the Athletics inking a seven-year extension on Christmas (not the worst Christmas gift!).

There was no action from the Atlanta Braves following Christmas Day, so there was plenty of time to analyze the boost that right-hander Joel Payamps could bring to the bullpen.
