Some former Cardinals found work
Former #stlcards LHP Tyler Lyons has found a new home for 2019, signing a minor league contract with the Pirates.

Oh yeah and Andrew Miller is now a Cardinal
The Andrew Miller contract is 2 years with a vesting option- meaning if Miller meets certain incentives a 3rd year would kick in. @ksdknews @Cardinals

I think that catches us up! Hope everyone had a lovely end to 2018!
