In a crazy offseason in Major League Baseball many moves have flown under the radar including some that were very important moves for contending teams. The St. Louis Cardinals gave manager Mike Matheny a contract extension that runs through the 2017 season. Matheny’s contract would have expired after next season before the extension, and the double down shows approval and confidence from the front office of Matheny’s work the past two seasons. The surprise hire of Matheny after Tony La Russa’s retirement in 2011 continues to look like a savvy move.
