A St. Louis Cardinals Fan Community
If you look forward to the St. Louis Cardinals Caravan every winter, you would be wise to check the just-announced locations as there are some big changes and omissions compared to previous years. This was the share by the St. Louis Cardinals on their social media places today. The 2026 version of the St. Louis […]

Rather quickly, there has been a growing assumption that Brendan Donovan will be traded. The stove is hot for Donovan, and it seems like it’s a fairly safe assumption to think he won’t be a Cardinal in 2026. A consequence of this is that the Cardinals’ outfield situation is rather bad next year to put […]

Today I’d simply like to take a look at who is still on the team so that I can compare further down the road what is happening to the Cardinals with Bloom at the helm, and to add any comments to what I think will happen to each player. I feel like this list of […]

John Denton of MLB.com is reporting that catcher Leonardo Bernal, outfielder Joshua Baez along with left-handed pitchers Cooper Hjerpe and Brycen Mautz are now on the 40-man for protection from the upcoming Rule 5 […]

The idea that the St. Louis Cardinals might be interested in signing a once-prolific free agent like Max Scherzer during a period of rebuild might seem insane, but I can at least make an argument that there could be some wisdom to a move like this. We know that Max Scherzer plans to pitch again […]

Today is another milestone on the offseason highway! All 30 clubs must make their decisions on who to keep and who to outright off the 40-man roster by 3 PM CST to protect them from the Rule 5 draft on December 10th at the conclusion of the 2025 Winter Meetings being held in Orlando, Florida! […]

I thought I had a good idea for a post. And in truth, it is a good idea. I was going to look at the Cardinals roster at the moment and see how much money was committed beyond this year. Primarily by trying to estimate the arbitration prices. There was one small problem. Well two […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are among the most active teams when it comes to early offseason rumors, but there’s one current Cardinals player you’re not hearing much about and that’s Willson Contreras. That’s one reason why it’s starting to feel that he is likely to not be changing uniforms. There’s a new report just shared […]

Last season, the St. Louis Cardinals experimented with the leadoff spot but, regardless of the hitter, the team could not find the best fit for the number one slot in the lineup. In 2025, Cardinals’ leadoff hitters combined for a .234 batting average, hitting 15 homers, and scored 91 runs while driving in 59. Each […]

The Cardinals sent an interesting contingent to this year’s edition of the Arizona Fall League (AFL). That short season has wrapped up and we will look at how the individual Cardinal representatives performed. Some time ago, the AFL was viewed as a finishing school for top prospects. That appears to be evolving. Now it seems […]

Ryan Helsley’s future is unclear. After being traded mid-season by the St. Louis Cardinals to the New York Mets, Helsley is now a free agent and he believes the St. Louis Cardinals will contact him. The questions are will they and should they? Context and tone are everything when it comes to quotes from players. […]

Last week, I wrote about how Cardinals legend Albert Pujols was brought up in the Eric Kay trial. An ex-Angels club employee allegedly had videos of Pujols making Kay do dares such as being hit on the knee with a 90-mph fastball. The former employee also testified that Pujols was paying kay to do the […]

We’re barely two weeks into the off-season, but the St. Louis Cardinals are already coming up in several trade rumors involving Brendan Donovan and the expected market for future Hall of Famer, Nolan Arenado. Here’s what we know so far along with other rumblings from around baseball: Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch shared […]

Recently, Jeff Jones of the Belleville-News Democrat was on the Dealin’ the Cards podcast. And he said he would not be shocked if the Cardinals end up with a bigger name starter than you’d expect in free agency. But he also said after that it would because that person’s market did not materialize, using Framber […]

I fully expect to be called a hypocrite for saying this since my radio career also requires speaking, but sometimes we talk too much and I’m including the St. Louis Cardinals leadership over the past several seasons. I have the deep conviction that less is more when it comes to how much we divulge about […]

being born in 1975, I am quite used to RBI, batting average, home runs, and of course, the stolen base since I lived through the 80’s as a child. Being a fan of the stolen base as a Cardinals fan in the 1980’s goes without question. But it became less and less important and even […]

I’m sure you’ve heard it said that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. In this instance, I hope that’s correct. If you’d like some hope that the St. Louis Cardinals can complete a fast rebuild, I’d recommend a look back at the 1995 Cardinal team and how it quickly […]

The “unofficial” kick off to the offseason is underway! Chaim Bloom and the rest of his contingent, like the rest of the league, have descended upon Las Vegas, Nevada, for the annual GM meetings. This event is held early every offseason and has been a tone setter for the rest of the winter. While most […]

This will likely be the first and hopefully last time that I’ll ever share content with you about myself as I would much prefer to talk about our beloved St. Louis Cardinals. However, I think I need to introduce myself so you’ll understand my backstory and how more than five decades living and dying with […]

When I looked at the trade value of both Nolan Arenado and Sonny Gray, I said I may return to them, but look at potential bad contract swaps. After researching the potential swaps…. I would be pretty surprised if this happens. There really aren’t many potential swaps. Which makes sense if you really think about […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to have some activity this offseason, a welcoming change from the dormant winter of last year when they invested a whopping $2 million into the major league roster. However, that activity will likely take the team in the opposite direction of contention as Chaim Bloom puts the foundation on […]
