Latest Cardinals Hot Stove: Antonetti, Eckstein, Maroth

Let’s take a look at what’s going on with the Cardinals.

• Viva El Birdos has a hunch that Chris Antonetti will be the team’s next GM.
• According to RotoWorld, the team has released Mike Maroth.  The 30 year-old lefty was terrible with St. Louis, but will probably hook on somewhere for $2-3MM.  He would’ve been non-tendered anyway.
• Interim GM John Mozeliak recently talked about his dealings with David Eckstein.  No deal is imminent, and he may test the free agent waters.  I don’t see the team going with Brendan Ryan, so look for some trade activity this winter if Eckstein departs.
