Another week, another wave of top prospects on the verge of a call-up to the majors. Over the weekend, we finally saw St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez earn his promotion, and now I expect another round of call-ups once rosters expand in September. Here are the top five hitting prospects to stash now for […]
An oddity began last November when the Cardinals chose to carry an almost unheard of five catchers on the 40-man roster. At the time, Pedro Pages, Ivan Herrera, Jimmy Crooks, Yahel Pozo and Leo Bernal occupied those spots. While five was pretty unusual, some explanation could be found due to the uncertainty of Ivan Herrera, […]

Back in 2021, Shelby Miller was little more than a punchline about former Diamondbacks GM Dave Stewart saying he was a $200 million player because he’d been traded for Jason Heyward. And that was from a deal seven years prior, when Miller went from St. Louis to Atlanta.

The Cardinals did not take advantage of a worn out Reds bullpen. They pretty much let their starters go as deep as starters end up going nowadays.
