But wait, there’s more! As if releasing a seasoned player wasn’t enough drama for one day, the Cardinals also decided to option Jordan Walker back to the minors. Because, you know, it’s not like he’s their top prospect or anything. The team clearly thought, “Why not mix things up a bit?” Maybe they’re hoping Walker will come back with some superpowers—or at least a better batting average.
The Cardinals seem to be in full “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” mode, which, to be honest, might just work. Or it might not. But hey, when you’re playing in a season that’s already been a rollercoaster, why not add a few more loops?
