as a cards fan, his love for the team was crazy and undeserved. the org failed to build a pitching staff for him then blamed him for the poor pitching performance. despite all the negativity, he always gave it his all and wanted to stay despite everything. they basically had to beg him to waive his NTC so they could properly rebuild. i get that this is a hate post by some salty cubs fan but he is a hell of a ball player and deserves more love than he gets. hope he gets a ring in boston
