The St. Louis Cardinals made a huge move bringing Paul Goldschmidt in from the Arizona Diamondbacks. While this makes them a better team, they are still not playoff contenders after this move.

Yankees fans are understandably disappointed that Patrick Corbin won’t be wearing pinstripes next season, but passing on the lefty was the right move.
