Some teams take their foot off the gas once their postseason situation is all but determined. The 2026 Milwaukee Brewers are apparently not one of those teams.

The 2026 season for the St. Louis Cardinals has come to a close. We were told this team wouldn’t prioritize “winning over everything” after jettisoning several veterans in the offseason.

St. Louis Cardinals' starter Matthew Liberatore had a very rough 2026 campaign. As he embarks on an offseason that's sure to be just an unsure, Matrix Midwest's Randy Karraker believes he's more valuable as a trade chip to the Cardinals, than as a player.
The 2026 season is officially over. Overall, I’d call the season a success, although it sure doesn’t feel that way.
