Im really pleased with this deal, good job Mo! He fits the bill as to what the Cards need, and he didn’t cost as much as Price. Now, go find a bat!

“never had an arm injury” if that aint the kiss of death when talking about pitchers!!??

Might as well just put him on the cover of the show and sports illustrated.

Just think, the Cardinals have 3 draft choices out of the top 40 picks next June. Wow what a management!!!!!

I agree that it’s great to have 3 in the top 40 but this isn’t the NFL where everyone makes it. If 2 of the 3 make the bigs that would be a huge win.

Good signing. Esp a pitcher that hit better than out 2 first basemen Adams and Moss. Maybe Leake can play first too.

That’s nice now we need Cespedes

The cards are an organization that many others should mirror. Good drafting, trades and solid development. Perennial playoff contenders and strong fan base. My only complaint would be that their owners have banked a tonne of money with all their post season play. They should spend a little extra in the coming years, at least 2018 when it will likely be the best free agent market of all time.

That math on the “well he doesnt cost a draft pick so the actual value of his deal is less” is wrong.
cxcx
Right. A similar comment that would make more sense would be “Samardzija’s actual cost was more like $95m-$98m due to SF having to sacrifice a pick to sign him.” It’s not like St. Louis got a pick for signing Leake.

Nice job with the draft pics now please go get a bat. Cargo if the best fit. But others are out there.

Agree, the Cardinals needs power in the lineup and Cargo is the best option if he is healthy he fits well in the lineup.He will be a free agent in two years from now.But the Rockies would ask for a lot in return to acquire him and the Cards should not send our top prospects in the deal but maybe one of them along with Matt Adams or Kolten Wong.The Cardinals can not make the same error that we did last year sending Shelby Miller to Atlanta for Jayson Heyward who left the team after a year.

Reaction from Mitch Harris, new teammate and former Navy Lieutenant:
“The name clearly fits the purpose. In the Navy, we appreciate anything that can hold back water. In Mike’s case, we welcome him aboard to patch the Leake in the rotation.”
