The Very Latest Breaking Giancarlo Stanton News Is that Cardinals bloggers are reaping the rewards of writing post after post with their brilliant Giancarlo Stanton hot takes. And the best part? Basically every single post that mentions Giancarlo Stanton in the title gets a bazillion clicks! Bloggers are on top of the world! To quote one blogger who wished to remain anonymous, “Ever since I created the Conclave, I get maybe 20 clicks per post. I posted one Stanton article, and BAM! 28 clicks. I’m thinking of making this my real career!” Yes indeed, the contest to get the latest interesting Stanton content is reaching a fever pitch as blogger after blogger watches their AdSense roll over penny by glorious penny. It’s never been more glamorous to be a Cardinals blogger. And while almost no actual news has been reported by any blog -- I mean we still aren’t clear if Stanton will actually waive his no-trade clause, we haven’t heard the slightest about how much the Cardinals would be willing to pick up, and there isn’t the faintest hint of whom the Cardinals might be offering -- that hasn’t stopped bloggers from churning out endless content. Giancarlo Stanton is THE face of the Cardinals off season, and he will continue to be right up until it’s revealed that a mystery team jumped in at the last second, got Stanton from the Marlins for a AA pitcher, and will now be using Jason Heyward as a 5th outfielder. Then we can all lament the stories that come out that will reveal that the Cardinals pursuit lasted a total of one day, and they demanded that the Marlins pay the entirety of Stanton’s contract, plus pitch in a few billion for Ball Park Village Phase 3 in which the Cardinals will buy the humane society and euthanize all of the animals except for Rally Cat, who will sit in a cage and give fans the pleasure of being scratched for the low, low price of $45 (+$15 if blood is drawn). But until that terrible, fateful day, Cardinals fans can continue to happily click away on the blogosphere as independent writers continue to be all Stanton, all the time.
