I see no issue with this except for the Astros getting players.

I'd be pissed about this ruling if I was a Rangers, Mariners, Angels or A's fan.

I guess this means Correa is ineligible for the Hall of Fame.

I agree

Do they also get the Cards allotted money for those draft picks?

Do the Royals still have that inferiority complex? You'd figure that would've gone away by now.

More people say "fuck STL" than just Kansas Citians

More people are Royals fans than Kansas Citians, too, but everytime I go to KC I get completely unnerved by all of the Jayhawks gear.

I dont mind STL getting hate because that means they are winning enough to get people to hate them. Nobody hates the Padres.

Exactly- It was jealousy more than hate.

Now it's just in my system, but I don't really care about the "rivalry" anymore

But Fuck KU

The 2M goes to the Astros?

AND the picks?

Ouch, babe.

That does seem to be a decent sized competitive advantage for the 'Stros...

How about just the Cardinals forfeit those picks? That would make more sense. It would punish the Cardinals, but not give the Astros an advantage at the same time.

You are looking for common sense out of and MLB commissioner. That has been lacking for over 25 years.

This.

Unfortunately, the Cards got off light.
Those 2 picks...(#56 & #75) are nothing.....and the $2M is chicken feed.

Can Houston parlay and include those 2 picks in a package deal for something better down the road??

Yeah I didn't think the Cardinals would be so down and out losing those picks. Perhaps the Astros can, they seem to be getting smarter in the front office
