ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Cardinals will miss postseason for the second straight season, and that doesn’t sit well with veteran catcher Willson Contreras.
Following Sunday’s home finale, Contreras spoke in length about his vision for the future of the Cardinals organization, making it clear that he wants to see significant changes and hopes the front office will approach the offseason with urgency.
These remarks, first shared by the Belleville New Democrat’s Jeff Jones , have been the talk of town in recent days:
“There’s some areas that need to be addressed. I don’t know if the front office is going to, but… We didn’t come together as an offense at all, during the whole year. There’s a lot of holes throughout the lineup as well, from 1 to 9…”
“The only thing we can control is show up next year and keep working. But as an organization, I think the Cardinals are one of the biggest organizations in baseball, and if I was them, if I was the front office, I’d have to be hungry to own this division… We haven’t owned this division this division the last two years.”
