2022 STL Cardinals Transactions

Hopefully I did this right, if anyone sees anything that looks off just let me know.  For the minors release I wasn't sure if it was just for the 1-Minors players or if I could drop any minor leaguer?  If it is just 1-Minors contracts I can update my list and drop the minors later on...
