While I was out sick/on vacation, things happened, as things tend to do. Before moving on to the new year, let’s catch up on the moves the Cardinals made at the end of the year.

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
