Social Media Reacts To Roster News
Here’s what people were saying:
@tjasondavis: “I am surprised by Ugueto.”
@valavineyards: “Wow, Ugueto. I thought they were sending him to Dev List? He must have resisted that notion.”
@poettheologian: “Ugueto caught me by surprise. Best of luck to him and the rest who were released today. Thanks for being a Cardinal.”
@STL_Stats_Facts: “From a development standpoint, the Cardinals could not have asked for a better turnout. So many players are flourishing right now. All these guys in AA and AAA doing great things right now and a lockout might put a halt to all of it next year, and that really sucks.”
