The St. Louis Blues have a numbers problem at forward, and according to Elliotte Friedman, the team isn't waiting around for it to sort itself out on its own. "One thing I kind of heard is that in St. Louis, for example, they have a bunch of NHL guys who are kind of in the bottom six, and not all of them are going to make their team," Friedman said on the 32 Thoughts Podcast . "And I think the Blues have let it be known that if you want some NHL depth, deeper in your roster, guys who've played...

There’s little at stake other than pride, […]

The Cardinals have always been clear on what 2026 was about: building toward the future. While 2027 won’t deviate from that objective, the Major League club can also make some noise along the way with the proper upgrades. The front office is unlikely to be ultra-aggressive in upgrading the roster with external additions ahead of next season. But there will be ways to upgrade the big league team while still keeping the future in mind. One of the benefits of this past season was how it gave the ...

Alex Bregman's injury will remind St. Louis Cardinals fans of the ball that struck Juan Encarnación in the eye in 2007 and ended his career. Despite the rivalry, Cardinals fans should show some empathy toward their rival during this tough time.
Contrary to popular belief, I actually think the Yankees have done decently well for themselves considering the brutal injury luck they’ve had this year, especially since their abbreviated “June swoon” ended in early July.
