      <title>What The Cardinals Did In Miami Has Fans Split | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals just made a lineup decision that had St. Louis buzzing before first pitch in Miami, and the reaction tells you everything about where this team sits in the NL Central. Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan dig into why a Wednesday day off might matter more than any win or loss on the road.

Joe and Ryan break down the strategy behind resting Cardinals regulars, what it means for the 17 straight days of baseball coming up, and how the rotation could get a boost from the minors. 

Plus, a former Cardinal could be coming home this weekend with the Mariners.

      <title>Oli Marmol Is Proving EVERYONE Wrong With This Cardinals Team! | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals are winning ugly and loving every second of it. Joe and Brenden go inside the clubhouse to reveal why this rebuild roster keeps finding ways to steal games.



Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer discuss the Cardinals' 10-win start, the team's blue-collar identity under Chaim Bloom's rebuild, and how the coaching staff is squeezing every run out of a roster built on grit over star power... plus why Oli Marmol deserves credit.



They break down real in-game baserunning examples, talk Jordan Walker's power numbers, and preview a weekend Astros series featuring Yordan Alvarez.

      <title>Cardinals WALK IT OFF + Wetherholt Has 1st Multi-HR Game | Cards Central 365 Postgame</title>
      <description>The Cardiac Cards do it again!!! A fun Tuesday night game in St. Louis that saw Ivan Herrera hit his first home run of 2026, plus JJ Wetherholt gets his first career multi-home run game.  It was a solid outing by both starting pitchers, but a rough relief appearance by Ryne Stanek, who gave up 4 hits and 3 runs in the 8th.  But after that, the Cardinals started to creep back with a 2-run homer in the 8th, and a 2-out Pozo double to tie it in the 9th.  Church's sac fly walks it off in the 10th

      <title>The Cardinals Can't Ignore This Any Longer | Cards Central 365: Mondays w/ Mike</title>
      <description>Jordan Walker just put the entire league on notice, and the Cardinals have a decision to make that could define their season. Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne break down Walker's red-hot week, the pitching problems that keep erasing wins, and the Jimmy Crooks call-up debate on this week's Mondays With Mike.

The guys get into the lack of rotation length taxing the bullpen, why Quinn Mathews isn't ready yet, and what to watch for in the three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians.

      <title>Cardinals handle Mikolas, Nationals in series finale! | Cards Central 365: Postgame</title>
      <description>The St. Louis Cardinals wrapped up their road trip on a high note with a 6–1 win over the Nationals, taking the series and building momentum heading home. Powered by a red-hot Jordan Walker—who continues his breakout stretch at the plate—the Cardinals combined timely hitting with strong pitching to control the game.

Michael McGreevy delivered a steady outing, limiting damage early and allowing the bullpen to dominate late, while the offense capitalized on walks and opportunities against Washington’s struggling relievers. With improved situational hitting and a rested bullpen, the Cardinals now return to St. Louis looking to carry that momentum into a tougher upcoming homestand.

      <title>Jordan Walker Is Doing Something He's NEVER Done Before | Cards Central 365: Mondays w/ Mike</title>
      <description>Jordan Walker just launched a 459-foot grand slam and the scary part is, that might not even be the most impressive thing he's doing right now. His plate discipline has completely changed, and Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne explain why this version of Walker should have the rest of the National League paying attention.

On this episode of Mondays With Mike, Joe and Mike dive deep into what's different about Jordan Walker in 2026. It's not just the power, it's what he's NOT swinging at. Walker's walk rate is up, he's laying off pitches he used to chase, and pitchers are noticing. When a guy with that kind of raw power starts showing discipline, the at-bats become a nightmare for opposing pitching staffs. 

The guys talk about how Walker has matured at 23 years old and what that growth looks like on a nightly basis.They also break down how a lineup injury opened the door for Walker to move up to the cleanup spot, and whether Oli Marmol should keep him there. With Walker and Nolan Gorman slotting in back to back, the middle of this Cardinals order suddenly has a different feel to it.

      <title>Andre Pallante, St. Louis Cardinals SHUT OUT New York Mets | Cards Central 365 Postgame</title>
      <description>The Cardinals snap their skid in style as Andre Pallante delivers a strong outing, leading St. Louis to a 3-0 shutout win over the Mets. Pallante kept hitters off balance all night, while the bullpen stepped up in key moments to preserve the victory.

Offensively, the breakthrough came from Iván Herrera, whose clutch two-run double provided all the run support the Cardinals would need. Ramón Urías also made an impact on both sides of the ball, flashing Gold Glove defense and adding his first home run as a Cardinal.

The show highlights a complete team effort—strong pitching, timely hitting, and solid defense—as the Cardinals improve early in the season and show signs of a balanced, developing lineup.

      <title>Leahy and Svanson struggle as Cards drop opener to Mets | Cards Central 365 Postgame</title>
      <description>The Cardinals drop the series opener 4–2 to the Mets, as Kyle Leahy struggled in his first extended start, allowing four runs while battling command issues. The offense never found a rhythm against Clay Holmes, managing just five hits, with Nolan Gorman providing the lone highlight with a towering solo homer.

Despite the loss, there were some encouraging signs for St. Louis, including strong early-season production from young hitters like Gorman and Jordan Walker, and a solid outing from reliever George Soriano. Ultimately, missed opportunities and a quiet lineup proved costly as the Cardinals couldn’t keep pace with a tough Mets pitching staff.

      <title>What The Cardinals Revealed In Their Opening Day Win | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals got the win on Opening Day, but the biggest takeaway was not just the final score. Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down the hidden signs from St. Louis’ win that could actually matter over the long haul.

On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe and Ryan react to the Cardinals’ exciting comeback win over the Rays, including Victor Scott II’s aggressiveness on the bases, cleaner situational hitting, and the early questions surrounding the bullpen pecking order. 

They also get into why this lineup may need to manufacture offense all season, and what stood out most from a game that felt different from a lot of what Cardinals fans watched in 2025.

      <title>JJ Wetherholt Might Be the Cardinals Leadoff Answer, Here’s Why | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals are only a few spring games in, and the lineup clues are already getting loud. If JJ Wetherholt is getting top-of-the-order treatment, the 2026 offense might be changing faster than people realize.

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down early spring training takeaways from Jupiter, including Wetherholt’s elite on-base profile, why the Cardinals might try him in premium lineup spots, and what it means for Masyn Winn, Victor Scott II, and the team’s speed emphasis. 

They also debate the Nolan Gorman conversation after a viral strikeout clip, and what “runway season” really looks like for the Cardinals’ key hitters.

      <title>The Leadoff Problem, The Cardinals Might Have a Surprise Answer | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Spring training games start tomorrow, and the Cardinals are already tipping their hand. The first three starters, plus a leadoff experiment, tell you exactly what St. Louis is trying to become in 2026.

Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down what to watch right away, starting with Matthew Liberatore on Saturday, Kyle Leahy on Sunday, and Michael McGreevy on Monday, and what that order might imply about the rotation pecking order. 

They also dig into the leadoff conversation, including JJ Wetherholt getting looks at the top, and what it means for options like Masyn Winn, Victor Scott II, and Lars Nootbaar.

Plus, the big question everyone wants answered: Does McGreevy unveil the new splitter in games, and what does it say about his ceiling if it plays?

      <title>Nootbaar’s Rehab Timeline, Why Nobody Sounds Confident Yet | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Lars Nootbaar is in Cardinals camp, but the one thing fans actually want to know still is not clear. And if he’s not close soon, the Opening Day outfield plan might already be changing.

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down what Nootbaar said about his rehab, why the Cardinals explored trade talks involving him this offseason, and what it could mean if he’s not ready early. 

Plus, a bullpen name to watch as Riley O’Brien deals with calf soreness and gets replaced on Team Korea’s WBC roster, and how that impacts the late-inning mix heading into spring games.

      <title>What Joe Saw in Jupiter, It Changes the 2026 Outlook | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals keep getting labeled “low expectations” for 2026, but Joe Roderick got an up close look at spring training, and the vibe doesn’t match the narrative. There’s one obvious message coming from camp: these young guys are taking it personally.

Joe and Brenden break down the biggest takeaways from Jupiter, including Jordan Walker’s offseason work and raw power, Masyn Winn’s next step offensively, and why Victor Scott II’s leash could get complicated faster than fans think. 

They also dive into Yadier Molina’s presence at camp and what it’s doing for the catching group, plus the latest read on Iván Herrera’s workload and why the outfield drills might not mean what people assume.

      <description>Yadier Molina walked into Cardinals camp and immediately took over the morning. Then Ozzie Smith showed up too, and the tone of spring training shifted fast.

They also dig into why left field feels wide open, why third base and left field raise real concerns, and what today’s reps might be hinting about JJ Wetherholt’s path to the Opening Day lineup.

Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne break down Yadi’s impact on the catchers, Ozzie’s early impressions (including one player he says looks drastically improved), and the biggest roster tells from defensive work in Jupiter. 



They also dig into why left field feels wide open, why third base and left field raise real concerns, and what today’s reps might be hinting about JJ Wetherholt’s path to the Opening Day lineup.

      <title>The Cardinals Finally Saw Their New Switch-Pitcher, Here’s What Jumped Out | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals just got an up close look at one of the most unusual pitchers in baseball, and it immediately raises one big question, how do you actually use him in real games? 



Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne break down what they saw in Jupiter, plus why the strategy, workload, and communication side might matter as much as the stuff.



On this Friday edition of Cards Central 365 from Cardinals Spring Training, Joe and Claibs react to seeing the two-arm pitching phenom throw, what the Cardinals appeared to focus on during the session, and why this could become a real case study for the entire sport.



They also share notes from conversations around camp, including Michael McGreevy’s up and down 2025, bullpen and Memphis shuttle candidates, and an injury timeline update that could reshape the pitching picture later in 2026.

      <title>Inside the Cardinals’ New “Player Factory” in Jupiter | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals finally look like a modern organization again, and you can feel it the second you walk into Jupiter. This facility upgrade is not just shiny new stuff, it could shape who wins jobs, who develops faster, and what 2026 really looks like.



Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne report from Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium as Cardinals spring training begins, breaking down the massive renovations, the new development resources, and what it means for the roster. 



They also share early takeaways from Oli Marmol’s comments, the influx of new coaches and staff, and the biggest questions heading into camp, including right-handed pop and pitching depth. 



Plus, quick notes on players getting early work and why simply staying healthy in February matters more than people admit.

      <description>The Cardinals have options for once, and that’s exactly what makes this rotation call so messy. Liberatore, Dustin May, McGreevy, then chaos, because the last spots come down to who forces the issue in Jupiter.

On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer lay out their early 2026 rotation projection, argue the Opening Day starter logic, and break down the real competition for the final spot, including Kyle Leahy, Andre Pallante, and the injury wild cards like Hunter Dobbins. 

They also dig into how spring results should be weighed, what the Cardinals might do if injuries hit, and who could close games early in the season.

      <title>The Cardinals’ Opening Day Lineup Has One Massive Unknown | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals haven’t even taken the field in spring training yet, and the Opening Day lineup is already a puzzle. The leadoff spot alone could flip the entire batting order, and that’s before the first “competition” quote drops from camp.

On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer make their best early calls on the St. Louis Cardinals 2026 Opening Day lineup, including the leadoff debate between Masyn Winn and Victor Scott II, where Lars Nootbaar fits if healthy, and how the middle of the order might look with Alec Burleson, Iván Herrera, Nolan Gorman, and Jordan Walker. 

They also get into the big question that won’t go away, is Herrera catching or DHing, plus early roster fits like JJ Wetherholt and who could grab playing time in the outfield.

      <title>Cardinals Non Roster Invites, The One Thing This List Reveals | Cards Central 365</title>

      <title>How the St. Louis Cardinals can make the most of an unsettling 2026 | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The 2026 St. Louis Cardinals season is going to feel weird: star players traded, a full-on Chaim Bloom rebuild, and a fanbase that isn’t used to “wait and see.” In this episode, we break down how Cardinals fans can survive, perhaps enjoy, an unsettling 2026.

We’ll cover:

What Chaim Bloom’s blueprint really means for the Cardinals’ future

Which young players (Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, Nolan Gorman, Iván Herrera, JJ Wetherholt, and more) are worth locking in on this year

Why 2026 draft position, payroll flexibility, and prospect development might matter more than the final record

What a “successful” 2026 looks like for St. Louis, even if the standings don’t

If you’re a frustrated Cardinals fan trying to make sense of this season, this episode is for you.

      <title>The WBC Might Change Spring Training, Here’s Who It Hits for St. Louis | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The WBC rosters just dropped, and the Cardinals’ situation is way more interesting than “who made it.” The biggest clue is what St. Louis clearly does not want Iván Herrera doing on the world stage.

Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down every Cardinals player headed to the World Baseball Classic, why the total is way lower than 2023, and how MLB teams manage pitch limits and spring training ramps when WBC intensity kicks in. 

They also get into the insurance issues thinning out Puerto Rico’s roster, Team USA surprises, and what it all could mean for the Cardinals once camp gets rolling.

      <title>NL Central Power Rankings, The Cardinals Problem Nobody Wants to Say Out Loud | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Reds just made a real move, the Cubs look loaded, and the Brewers keep refusing to die. So where does that leave the Cardinals, fighting for third, or just trying not to finish last?

On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer power-rank the NL Central heading into spring training, react to Cincinnati adding Eugenio Suárez, and lay out what would have to go right for the Cardinals to climb into the 77 to 78 win range. 

They also explain why Milwaukee’s “trade guys and still win” model keeps working, and why the Reds’ pitching could be the biggest swing factor in the whole division.

      <title>The Cardinals Farm System Just Skyrocketed | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals just got one of their biggest national farm system compliments in years, and it changes the way you should view the rebuild. Baseball America has St. Louis ranked No. 2, and the names driving it are not just the ones you already know.



Brenden Schaeffer and Ryan Fagan break down why the Cardinals jumped in the rankings, what it says about Chaim Bloom’s direction, and how depth matters when you’re trying to turn veterans into real prospect value. 



They dive into JJ Wetherholt’s ceiling, why Liam Doyle matters so much in a rebuild built around arms, and the rising intrigue around a young catching prospect who keeps climbing lists. 



Plus, the biggest pitching question for 2026, what Quinn Mathews needs to be if the Cardinals want to move the timeline up sooner than expected

      <title>What the Donovan Trade Says About Bloom’s Cardinals | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>In moving Brendan Donovan, the St. Louis Cardinals reshaped their next two years in one swing. The biggest twist is how they plan to handle switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje, and what that says about the organization’s new direction.



In this episode of Cards Central 365, Brenden Schaeffer and Hunter Mulholland react to the three-team deal with the Seattle Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays, break down the upside plays in the return (including Tai Peete), and explain why the draft pick haul matters more than it sounds at first. 



They also dig into Bloom’s tone and messaging, and why that part actually matters if the Cardinals are trying to win fans back while committing to a real rebuild.

      <title>THIS Is Why The Donovan Talk Just Got Serious | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The St. Louis Cardinals aren’t just “listening” on Brendan Donovan anymore, the noise around this has officially turned into real leverage and real deadlines. If a deal is getting done, this is the window where teams start showing their hand.

In this episode of Cards Central 365, we break down why the Seattle Mariners keep popping up as the cleanest match, what St. Louis has to demand in return (and what they absolutely cannot accept), and why the Cardinals don’t need to panic just because the trade chatter is loud. 

Plus, the biggest off-field development, the Cardinals announced Cardinals TV for 2026, with pricing at $99.99 for the season or $19.99 monthly, which changes how a lot of fans will watch and how the business side moves going forward.

      <itunes:summary>The St. Louis Cardinals aren’t just “listening” on Brendan Donovan anymore, the noise around this has officially turned into real leverage and real deadlines. If a deal is getting done, this is the window where teams start showing their hand.

In this episode of Cards Central 365, we break down why the Seattle Mariners keep popping up as the cleanest match, what St. Louis has to demand in return (and what they absolutely cannot accept), and why the Cardinals don’t need to panic just because the trade chatter is loud. 

Plus, the biggest off-field development, the Cardinals announced Cardinals TV for 2026, with pricing at $99.99 for the season or $19.99 monthly, which changes how a lot of fans will watch and how the business side moves going forward.

      <title>This One Stat Explains Why Masyn Winn Missed the Top 10 | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Masyn Winn just got hit with the classic Cardinals tax: fans love him, the rankings do not. So who’s right, and what does it mean for a potential extension after the Jacob Wilson deal?



In this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down why Masyn Winn didn’t crack MLB Network’s Top 10 shortstops, even after a Gold Glove caliber season. They compare the “Shredder” model vs fan voting, stack Winn’s offensive numbers against the league’s best, and then pivot to the real question: should the St. Louis Cardinals try to lock him up early with an extension?

      <title>Arenado’s Exit Interview Says a Lot About the Cardinals | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Nolan Arenado opened up about his time in St. Louis, and it’s the most honest he’s sounded about what went wrong. The part about the clubhouse shift after the legends left, that’s the real tell.



We’re a few weeks removed from the trade to Arizona, and Arenado’s comments on Foul Territory hit on everything Cardinals fans have been arguing about: culture, leadership, expectations, and how fast it all collapsed.

      <title>The Cardinals Have a Hidden Advantage, and Pitchers Know It | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals had zero arm injuries in 2025, and that one stat might be more powerful than any recruiting pitch they could give a free agent. Dustin May noticed, asked questions, and it may have helped push him to St. Louis.



On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down how the Cardinals’ medical process and workload planning became a real selling point, and whether this “health anomaly” is repeatable or just baseball luck showing up once every few decades.

      <title>Cardinals Fans Wanted Bader Back, Here’s Why It Was Never Happening | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Cardinals fans saw Harrison Bader sign with the Giants and immediately asked, “How did St. Louis let that happen?” Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer explain why a two year deal for Bader never really fit what the Cardinals say 2026 is about.



They break down Bader’s strong 2025, why the contract term matters, and why the priority should be getting daily at-bats for Jordan Walker and Victor Scott, not paying for a few extra wins in a season that likely isn’t going anywhere.

      <title>Why Brendan Donovan Is BETTER Than Most People Realize | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Cardinals fans went at us in the comments after we said Brendan Donovan deserves more respect nationally. Then MLB’s own fan vote ranked him 8th among second basemen, while analytics based rankings have him closer to top five. So what’s the real story, is Donovan being underrated, or are people just not watching closely enough?



In this episode, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down why Donovan’s value doesn’t always pop in highlight clips, but shows up when you look at wins, versatility, and the kind of at-bats that keep a lineup moving. We also react to the backlash from Monday’s episode and explain why the “overrated” label doesn’t match what the numbers and the eye test say.

      <title>What Did MLB Network Say About the Cardinals?! | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Only one St. Louis Cardinals player cracked MLB Network’s Top 100 for 2026, and it shocked almost everyone. Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down why Iván Herrera made the list, why Masyn Winn and Brendan Donovan were left out, and what this says about how Major League Baseball values offense versus defense.



In this episode of Cards Central 365, the guys dive into MLB Network’s rankings, debate whether Masyn Winn was unfairly snubbed after winning a Gold Glove, and question if home runs now matter more than elite defense at premium positions.

      <description>The Cards Central 365 crew looks ahead to the 2026 season by debating the Cardinals’ top candidates for Comeback Player of the Year. The discussion is headlined by Victor Scott II and whether his elite speed, defense, and offseason swing adjustments can translate into a true breakout at the plate. The show also dives into Andre Pallante’s path back to effectiveness, Ryan Fernandez’s bullpen outlook, and whether Lars Nootbaar can rediscover his on-base skills and power after an uneven season. Along the way, the guys reference ZiPS projections, Winter Warm-Up insights, and what internal improvements could mean for the Cardinals’ retooling year in 2026

      <title>MLB Free Agency Is Frozen, What It Means for the Cardinals and Brendan Donovan | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>MLB free agency is still stuck in neutral, and the Cardinals are right in the middle of the chaos. Joe Roderick and Stefan Caray break down why the market is dragging, how a potential 2027 lockout could be looming over negotiations, and what it means for the Cardinals’ 2026 roster plan.



Cardinals 2026 is shaping up like a prove-it season, with one-year contracts, trade-deadline leverage, and a pivot toward long-term flexibility. The guys dive into Brendan Donovan trade rumors, the Nico Hoerner comparison market, why reliever value spikes at the deadline (JoJo Romero), and which remaining free agents could actually help St. Louis, especially a right-handed outfield bat.



Event shoutout: Join us Thursday, January 22 from 6–8 p.m. at The Key STL Burger Bar and Boogie (3225 Olive) for a live broadcast with Cam Janssen and Jim Hayes, plus special guest Matt Adams. Great food, great prizes, and your shot at winning Opening Day Cardinals tickets and autographed merch.

      <title>BREAKING: Cardinals trade Nolan Arenado to Diamondbacks | Cards Central Instant Reaction</title>
      <description>Nolan Arenado is officially gone, and Cardinals fans finally got the trade they’ve been waiting on for two offseasons. In this Cards Central Instant Reaction, Joe Roderick, Stefan Caray, and Mike Claiborne break down the blockbuster move sending Arenado to the Arizona Diamondbacks, what the Cardinals got back, and what this signals about Chaim Bloom’s rebuild plan in St. Louis.



The crew reacts in real time to the full trade details, including the money involved, the return of RHP Jack Martinez, and the ripple effects across the roster. What happens now at third base, how this impacts Nolan Gorman, Thomas Saggese, José Fermín, and the future timeline with J.J. Wetherholt, plus whether Brendan Donovan trade talks are about to heat up even more. 



They also discuss the Diamondbacks’ angle, why Arizona would make this move, and what “vintage Arenado” could look like in the NL West.

On Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down what Stanek brings, how he fits with JoJo Romero, Riley O’Brien, Matt Svanson and more, and why this move screams “cheap upside, possible trade chip.”

      <title>St. Louis Cardinals to sign Ryne Stanek, per reports - REACTION &amp; ANALYSIS | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Cardinals are reportedly closing in on a deal with veteran reliever Ryane Stanek, and Card Central 365 breaks down what it could mean for a franchise clearly leaning into a low-risk, high-reward approach to roster building 



Multiple reports indicate St. Louis is targeting Stanek as a potential bounce-back bullpen arm who could provide strikeout upside, veteran leadership, and possibly become a valuable trade chip at the deadline if the Cardinals are not in contention.



Stanek, a St. Louis native and former first-round pick, had his best seasons with Houston in 2021–22 but struggled in 2024 between Seattle and New York. Despite the recent downturn, his elite fastball velocity, strikeout potential, and experience in multiple bullpen roles make him an intriguing project for the Cardinals’ pitching development group. The show discusses how his presence could stabilize a younger bullpen, take pressure off manager Oliver Marmol, and give the Cardinals flexibility—either as a contributor in a competitive season or as a deadline flip for future assets.



The panel also dives into Stanek’s pitch mix, fastball predictability issues, and how St. Louis may attempt to “rebuild” his effectiveness in a pitching-lab environment. With the Cardinals continuing to add depth and prioritize strikeout arms, Stanek becomes a classic “prove-it” signing that fits the club’s transitional strategy heading into 2026.

      <description>The Angels just cleared a massive contract, and suddenly a Nolan Arenado trade feels very real. With Anthony Rendon gone and third base wide open in Anaheim, the Cardinals may finally have their clean exit.



Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down why the Angels are the perfect landing spot for Nolan Arenado, why the Cardinals are prioritizing roster flexibility over prospect return, and how money matters more than talent in this deal.

      <title>Cardinals Desperately Need a True Home Run Threat | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>With a new year bringing renewed hope for the Cardinals, Joe Roderick and Brendan Schaefer zero in on one glaring issue holding St. Louis back: the complete lack of a true middle-of-the-order power bat. The duo points out that Wilson Contreras led the team in home runs last season with just 20 — an alarmingly low number that highlights how far the Cardinals have fallen from their recent playoff years, when 30-plus homer seasons from Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and others were the norm 



They break down how St. Louis has steadily drifted away from being a dangerous power lineup, noting that the last time the Cardinals made the playoffs (2022), they also had multiple hitters topping 30 homers. Since then, the team has relied on scattered, modest power totals rather than a true game-changing slugger. Joe and Brendan discuss whether Nolan Gorman, Iván Herrera, or even Alec Burleson could realistically become that 30-home-run threat, while expressing skepticism about projection systems that underestimate Herrera’s power potential despite his loud contact and limited playing time so far 



The conversation also explores whether the Cardinals should seek an external solution — a “Jed Gyorko-type” trade or bargain free agent who could unexpectedly become a home run machine — or fully commit to evaluating their young core in 2026, even if it means living with growing pains. Ultimately, the show frames the Cardinals’ power drought as more than a stat quirk — it’s a defining weakness that will continue to limit the team’s ceiling until St. Louis finds (or develops) a legitimate middle-of-the-order thumper.

      <title>Which Cardinals NEED a Reset in 2026? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down which St. Louis Cardinals most desperately need a fresh start heading into 2026. 



The conversation centers on Jordan Walker, his stalled development, and why the Cardinals must give him everyday runway regardless of early results. 



The discussion then pivots to Lars Nootbaar, injuries, declining production, and whether now is the worst possible time to trade him. They also examine Andre Pallante and the shrinking margin for error in the Cardinals’ pitching plans as the organization leans into a true evaluation year.

      <description>The Cardinals traded Willson Contreras, so now what? Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down whether lineup balance actually matters for a Cardinals team clearly focused on the future, not maximizing wins in 2026.



Is chasing a right-handed bat smart roster building, or just another way to overpay during a non-contending year? This episode dives into free agency, internal options, and why development may matter more than perfect lineup symmetry.

      <title>Christmas and Baseball Cards | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan used this holiday edition of Card Central 365 to step away from roster talk and dive into the nostalgia of baseball cards, sharing personal stories that tied the hobby closely to Christmas and winter memories. Fagan talked about how he now donates large portions of his card collection to Greg Poole’s Cans charity in Southern Illinois, which distributes baseball cards to kids and seniors to brighten their holidays, reflecting how his lifelong love of collecting has evolved into a way to give back


He also shared how his passion began in the late 1980s, recalling riding his bike to buy packs of 1987 Topps cards, and even told a memorable story about dropping prized Todd Worrell rookie cards into the snow after being startled by a neighborhood dog—an experience that’s stuck with him decades later. The conversation then shifted to Joe’s memories of receiving a massive 1990 Fleer box set for Christmas, leading into a humorous breakdown of the infamous “junk wax era,” including a critique of Fleer’s off-center cuts and bland designs, and the realization that childhood sticker-covered doors may now be hiding unexpected value.

      <title>Randy Karraker shares Cardinals Christmas memories| Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>On the Christmas Day edition of Card Central 365, Joe Roderick is joined by Randy Karriker for a nostalgic and lighthearted holiday conversation centered around one of the most memorable Christmas Eve moments in modern Cardinals history — the surprise free-agent signings of Andy Benes and Ron Gant in 1995. Karriker recounts how, while working at KMOX, he broke the news live on Christmas Eve and then hosted an open-line show that drew jam-packed phone lines for two straight hours, illustrating just how deeply Cardinals baseball resonates with St. Louis fans, even on the holidays. The two reflect on how shocking the moves were at the time, how different the economics of baseball were in the mid-90s compared to today, and how those signings signaled a turning point in the franchise’s direction under new ownership and Walt Jocketty’s leadership.

      <title>All I Want for Christmas Is… Brendan Donovan extension? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>In this holiday edition of Card Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaefer dive into the uncertain future of Cardinals standout Brendan Donovan and the broader direction of the organization under new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom. Schaefer explains why, despite personally wishing for a long-term extension for Donovan, he believes the Cardinals are more likely to trade him while his value is at its peak following an All-Star season, especially given the club’s ongoing payroll reset and prospect-focused approach.  The discussion also touches on recent salary-shedding moves, the organization’s long-term rebuild timeline, and why the front office appears to be prioritizing cost control and flexibility over immediate contention. The episode closes with holiday well-wishes and reflections on how young players like Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Victor Scott will ultimately shape how quickly the Cardinals can return to contention.

      <title>Willson Contreras Trade Breakdown: Is Hunter Dobbins Ready for the Rotation? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The St. Louis Cardinals have traded Willson Contreras to the Boston Red Sox, but fans are asking if the return package moves the needle for 2026. 

We take a deep dive into the new arms headed to St. Louis and where they fit into a crowded, competitive rotation picture.

In this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down the acquisition of Hunter Dobbins and his recovery from a torn ACL. We analyze whether Dobbins is a day-one starter or a depth piece alongside Andre Pallante and Kyle Leahy. 

Plus, we look at the high-upside "lottery ticket" prospects included in the deal and what Chaim Bloom’s strategy reveals about the Cardinals' future.

      <title>The Lars Nootbaar Debate: Is He Actually Good or Just Overhyped?| Cards 365</title>
      <description>On this episode of Cards Central 365, hosts Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer get into a debate over the value of St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar. following a report from The Athletic's Katie Woo that teams remain interested in trading for him despite his recent foot surgery (Haglund's Deformity).

Joe argues that Nootbaar is "overhyped," citing his inability to stay on the field and lack of superstar production. He asks the tough question: Why do teams love a player who has never played a full season? Brenden pushes back, defending Nootbaar as a "Statcast darling" who produces above-league-average numbers even in "down" years.

      <title>Does Trading Nolan Arenado to the Tigers Make Sense? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Could Nolan Arenado be the missing piece for the Detroit Tigers? On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down why a trade sending the Cardinals' third baseman to Detroit makes sense for both sides.



With Tarik Skubal dominating on the mound, the Tigers are looking to contend now. Ryan and Joe discuss how Arenado's elite defense would support the Tigers' pitching staff and how his bat fits into a platoon role, specifically mashing against left-handed pitching.



The guys also analyze what Chaim Bloom could get in return. Would the Cardinals target a utility player like St. Louis native Matt Vierling, or buy low on young talents like Colt Keith or Jace Jung?

      <title>Why the Angels Could Trade for Nolan Arenado | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Could Nolan Arenado be heading home to Southern California? On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan analyze whether the Los Angeles Angels are the most logical trade partner for the Cardinals' star third baseman.



With rumors swirling about an Anthony Rendon buyout and retirement, the Angels are desperate for legitimacy and a reliable corner infielder. Ryan and Joe discuss why Arenado might waive his no-trade clause for the Halos and how he fits into a lineup with Mike Trout.



Plus, following the (hypothetical) trade of Sonny Gray, the guys break down what Chaim Bloom is looking for in return. Can the Angels' thin farm system provide enough value, or is this deal purely about salary relief?

      <title>Arenado to Yankees? Analyzing the Salary and Roster Fit | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Could Nolan Arenado be headed to the Bronx? On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down the potential of a blockbuster trade sending the Cardinals' star third baseman to the New York Yankees.



The guys discuss whether the Yankees view Arenado as a necessary upgrade over their current infield options and if the Cardinals are willing to eat significant salary to facilitate a deal. They also compare Arenado’s defensive value to other third basemen around the league and analyze if a "bad contract swap" makes sense for St. Louis.



Plus, we look at Chaim Bloom’s potential strategy for maximizing return on veteran players and whether the Cardinals can get young, controllable talent in return.

      <itunes:summary>Could Nolan Arenado be headed to the Bronx? On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down the potential of a blockbuster trade sending the Cardinals' star third baseman to the New York Yankees.



The guys discuss whether the Yankees view Arenado as a necessary upgrade over their current infield options and if the Cardinals are willing to eat significant salary to facilitate a deal. They also compare Arenado’s defensive value to other third basemen around the league and analyze if a "bad contract swap" makes sense for St. Louis.



Plus, we look at Chaim Bloom’s potential strategy for maximizing return on veteran players and whether the Cardinals can get young, controllable talent in return.

      <title>Does an Arenado to Philadelphia Trade Make Sense for STL? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>On this edition of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer explore a major trade scenario sending Nolan Arenado to the Philadelphia Phillies. With the St. Louis Cardinals looking to reset their payroll and roster in 2025, could Alec Bohm be the potential return piece?



The guys analyze the current situation with Alec Bohm in Philadelphia and whether the Phillies are ready to move on from their third baseman. They discuss the financial implications of the deal, debating if the Cardinals should take on Nick Castellanos’s contract to facilitate the move. Joe and Brenden also break down a larger mock trade that could include Nolan Gorman or Lars Nootbaar heading to Philly to replace Kyle Schwarber's production.



Is this the right move for a rebuilding Cardinals team?

      <title>Why Release John King? Cardinals Non-Tender Breakdown | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer react to the St. Louis Cardinals' recent roster moves following the non-tender deadline. The team has reduced their 40-man roster to 37 players by declining 2026 contracts for left-handed pitcher John King, catcher Yohel Pozo, and pitchers John King Sem Robberse.

The guys debate the decision to move on from John King. Brenden argues that King's projected $2.1 million arbitration salary was too high for his production, while Joe believes the Cardinals need reliable innings eaters for the upcoming season.

The conversation shifts to the catching situation. With Yohel Pozo out, the focus turns to the dynamic between Iván Herrera and Pedro Pagés. Joe argues that holding onto Pagés might be a missed opportunity to trade for value, whereas Brenden sees Pagés as essential insurance given Herrera's injury history and the developmental timeline of prospects like Jimmy Crooks and Leonardo Bernal.

      <description>Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer are live on Cards Central 365 to break down the St. Louis Cardinals looming 40-man roster deadline. With the Rule 5 Draft approaching, the front office faces tough decisions on which top prospects to protect.

      <title>Donovan to the Pirates?! The Logic Is Strong but the Gamble Is Massive | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>The Pittsburgh Pirates have quietly emerged as a serious suitor for Brendan Donovan, and the fit is better than anyone expected. Joe Roderick and Grant Salsman break down why Pittsburgh is motivated, how Paul Skenes factors into the Pirates timeline, which prospects could headline a deal, and whether the Cardinals would actually trade a key piece inside the NL Central.



We also look at the risks of an interdivision move, how St. Louis could leverage Pittsburgh’s urgency, and what kind of return would justify dealing Donovan to a rival.

      <title>Cardinals Hot Stove, Brendan Donovan Bidding War and Nolan Arenado Trade Clock | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Randy Karraker and Joe Roderick fire up the hot stove to break down what the general managers meetings in Las Vegas really mean for the St. Louis Cardinals. 

They dive into Brendan Donovan’s booming trade market after Derrick Goold’s reporting, which contenders like the Dodgers, Guardians and Pirates make sense, and what kind of starting pitching Chaim Bloom and Rob Cerfolio should demand in return.

The guys also dig into the Cardinals catching logjam with Pedro Pagés, Iván Herrera, Jimmy Crooks, Yohel Pozo, Leonardo Bernal and Rainiel Rodriguez, and how that could be used to find real bullpen help. 

Later they hit on Sonny Gray’s no trade situation and possible fits with teams like the Giants, Braves and Angels, plus where Nolan Arenado and Willson Contreras could land if the Cardinals fully commit to a reset.

If you care about Cardinals trade rumors, Brendan Donovan’s value, Sonny Gray’s future, Nolan Arenado’s next team and how Chaim Bloom plans to rebuild the rotation and bullpen, this is your kind of hot stove show.

      <title>Should The Cardinals Trade Brendan Donovan Or Build Around Him?</title>
      <description>Brendan Donovan has become one of the hottest names at the GM Meetings, with Derrick Goold reporting that if teams are doing their jobs, roughly twenty two clubs should be checking in on the Cardinals super utility man. 

The Yankees and Dodgers have liked him before, and now the Royals and Guardians are among the teams linked to Donovan as Chaim Bloom listens on almost everyone and looks to reshape this roster.  ￼

In this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer debate whether the Cardinals should trade Brendan Donovan at all, or put an extension in front of him and make him a core piece for the next winning Cardinals team. 

They dig into how he fits in a future lineup with Masyn Winn and Victor Scott II, why his versatility and contact profile age well, and what message it sends if St. Louis moves on from a “Cardinal for life” type player.

      <title>Cardinals Rotation Forecast for 2026, Will Sonny Gray Be Dealt? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer map out the most likely 2026 St. Louis Cardinals rotation using in-house arms, then ask the big question: Does Sonny Gray get traded before Opening Day, or does he anchor the staff all year?



They put Michael McGreevy in marker, Matthew Liberatore in pen, debate Andre Pallante’s role and tender decision, and size up Kyle Leahy and Quinn Mathews as spring options. They also discuss why at least one outside starter still feels inevitable, plus how a potential Lars Nootbaar or Brendan Donovan trade could return an MLB-ready arm.

      <title>Could Lars Nootbaar Be the First Big Move of the Cardinals Offseason? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Rumors are swirling around the St. Louis Cardinals as Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Texas Rangers have shown interest in outfielder Lars Nootbaar. 

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer discuss what that means for the Cardinals’ offseason, how Nootbaar’s injury could impact his trade value, and which teams might actually make sense as trade partners.

Could Skip Schumaker’s connection to Nootbaar help fuel a deal? And would the Angels or another American League team jump into the mix?

      <title>Should the Cardinals Trade Alec Burleson After His Silver Slugger Season? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Alec Burleson just captured the National League Silver Slugger Award for utility players, giving the St. Louis Cardinals a rare offseason bright spot. 



But could it also make him a top trade chip? Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan debate Burleson’s long-term value, how he stacks up against Nolan Gorman and Lars Nootbaar, and whether Chaim Bloom should consider selling high or building around one of St. Louis’s most consistent hitters.

      <title>New Third Basemen Hit Free Agency, What It Means for a Nolan Arenado Trade | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Munetaka Murakami has been officially posted, giving MLB teams a 45-day window to negotiate per ESPN. Alex Bregman just opted out in Boston and is back on the market per multiple reports. 



That suddenly crowds the third base landscape, and it matters for the St. Louis Cardinals as they explore a Nolan Arenado trade and reshape the roster under Chaim Bloom. 



Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down how Murakami’s posting, Bregman’s free agency, and other corner-infield options like Kazuma Okamoto and Eugenio Suárez could impact the timing, destinations, and return for an Arenado deal.

      <title>Why Do Teams Keep Saying “No” to Albert Pujols? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Albert Pujols just lost out on another MLB managerial opportunity. After a reported nine-and-a-half-hour interview with the San Diego Padres, the club instead hired former reliever Craig Stammen. 



Pujols had previously been connected to the Angels opening, which ultimately went to Kurt Suzuki. That leaves the Colorado Rockies as the only team without a manager as of now.



Pujols and longtime teammate Yadier Molina will next take the dugout at the 2026 World Baseball Classic, managing the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Could their performances there reignite MLB interest?

      <title>Cardinals Could Move Arenado Sooner Than You Think | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Jeff Passan reports that Nolan Arenado is more open to possibilities with his no-trade clause, and the St. Louis Cardinals could have an easier path to a deal this winter. 



Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down what the report means, which teams make sense, why an AL destination could be ideal, and how a broader Cardinals reset under Chaim Bloom shapes the timeline. 



They also discuss why the club should not let one decision stall the entire offseason.

      <title>If the Cubs Aren't Going to be Serious Contenders, Do the Cards Have a Chance to Steal the Central</title>
      <description>MLB hot stove is officially here! 

The Cubs declined their three-year club option on Shota Imanaga, making him a free agent. Kyle Tucker also hits the market after his 2025 run with Chicago. 

Milwaukee exercised Freddy Peralta’s option while Brandon Woodruff declined his, and the first trade of the offseason is in, the Cubs sent reliever Andrew Kittredge to the Orioles for cash. 

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down how these moves reshape the NL Central, what it means for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2026, and where Chicago and Milwaukee might go next.

      <title>Winn Wins Gold Glove! Will He Hit Enough To Unlock SUPERSTAR Potential For Cardinals?</title>
      <description>Masyn Winn just delivered a franchise milestone, winning the 2025 NL Gold Glove Award at shortstop, the Cardinals’ 100th Gold Glove all time, and becoming the youngest Cardinal to win the award. He edged out Mookie Betts among the finalists, capping an elite defensive season at short.  ￼

In this episode, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down what Winn’s glove means for St. Louis in the Bloom era, and they dig into the big question, how much can the bat grow. 

They discuss lineup fit, OBP targets, realistic OPS ranges, and whether Winn profiles best as a table-setter or as a steady glove-first anchor who lifts the floor of a contending roster.

      <description>Former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams joins Randy Karraker on Cards Central 365 to talk about life after playing, why he jumped straight into coaching with the Padres’ Triple A El Paso Chihuahuas, and the mindset that made him one of MLB’s most dangerous pinch hitters. 



Adams breaks down approach vs exit velo, how the shift changed at bats, why routine is everything, and the story behind his “Big City” nickname. 



He also reflects on the 2014 NLDS home run off Clayton Kershaw, shares clubhouse lessons from Yadier Molina, Matt Holliday, Lance Berkman, David Freese, Jon Jay, and explains how John Mabry and Mark McGwire shaped his hitting approach.

      <title>14 Years After David Freese: Did We Just See the Next Great World Series Classic?</title>
      <description>On the 14th anniversary of the St. Louis Cardinals unforgettable 2011 World Series Game 6, baseball fans witnessed another all-time classic.

The Dodgers outlasted the Blue Jays 6-5 in 18 innings, capped by Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run — making him the first player ever with two World Series walk-off homers. Shohei Ohtani reached base nine times, tying a postseason record and adding to the night’s legend.

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer debate where this marathon ranks among the greatest World Series games ever, how it stacks up to the Cardinals’ Game 6 heroics, and why St. Louis still sets the gold standard for October drama.

      <title>How Nootbaar’s Injury Could RESHAPE the Cardinals Winter Moves</title>
      <description>Matt Pauley of KMOX joins Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer on Cards Central 365 to break down the latest on St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar’s offseason injury: a condition called Haglund’s deformity. 

Pauley explains what he learned from his conversation with Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom, why Opening Day isn’t off the table, and how the team’s plans to trade left-handed bats like Nootbaar, Brendan Donovan, Alec Burleson, or Nolan Gorman could change.

The crew discusses how this impacts Bloom’s first offseason in charge, Nootbaar’s trade value, and whether the Cardinals might pivot toward other roster moves ahead of 2026.

      <title>Albert Pujols Out in Anaheim, Could San Diego Be His Next Stop? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>On the eve of the 2025 World Series, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down the rush of MLB managerial news. 

The Angels hired Kurt Suzuki on a one-year contract, a move that takes Albert Pujols out of the running in Anaheim and pushes his candidacy toward San Diego and potentially Baltimore. 

They also dive into the San Francisco Giants making history as Buster Posey, now president of baseball operations, hires Tony Vitello away from Tennessee after the Vols’ 2024 title run. 

What does Suzuki’s short deal signal about the Angels, how real is Pujols to the Padres with Machado’s admiration in the background, and will Baltimore get involved. 

Plus, they set the stage for Dodgers vs Blue Jays in Game 1 on Friday and make series picks.

      <title>Cardinals Land TWO Silver Slugger Finalists: Burleson and Donovan for Utility Crown</title>
      <description>The St. Louis Cardinals might not have had a powerhouse offense in 2025, but two of their most consistent bats are now Silver Slugger finalists, and both in the same category.

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down why Alec Burleson and Brendan Donovan were named finalists for the National League utility Silver Slugger Award, how their numbers compare to Jake Cronenworth, and why this might be the Cardinals’ best shot at an offensive award this offseason.

The guys also look at other NL finalists, from Shohei Ohtani to Freddie Freeman, and discuss whether Iván Herrera could have been in the DH mix if not for injury.

      <title>Will Noot Even PLAY in 2026? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down the latest on the St. Louis Cardinals offseason surgeries and what they mean for 2026. 

Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports Lars Nootbaar had both heels operated on to shave down Haglund’s deformities, a procedure that can affect the Achilles and often requires a lengthy ramp-up. 

We compare similar athlete cases, including John Wall’s 2019 heel surgery for Haglund’s deformity followed by an Achilles tear months later, and Yoenis Céspedes’ 2018 bilateral heel surgeries and his later 2019 ranch accident that fractured his ankle. 

We also hit Iván Herrera’s elbow cleanup and Masyn Winn’s right meniscus injury and likely arthroscopic repair, then debate how all of this changes St. Louis’ trade calculus with Brendan Donovan and Nolan Gorman.

      <title>Cardinals-Braves 2019 Game 5: Inside the Historic 10-Run First Inning | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer take you back to October 9, 2019, St. Louis Cardinals at Atlanta Braves, winner-take-all NLDS Game 5. 

St. Louis put up 10 runs in the first inning at SunTrust Park, the most ever to open a postseason game, then cruised to a 13-1 series-clinching win. 

Jack Flaherty worked 6 strong innings, 104 pitches, and Mike Shildt even made a rare bottom-of-the-first defensive switch, inserting Harrison Bader after the eruption. 

We walk through the inning pitch by pitch, the Kolten Wong sacrifice, the Tommy Edman double, the Dexter Fowler and Wong gap shots, the wild pitch, and how Mike Foltynewicz’s Game 2 gem gave way to a nightmare start in Game 5.

      <title>Did John Mozeliak Actually WIN His Final Trades?!</title>
      <description>Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down the 2025 MLB postseason field — and why the St. Louis Cardinals might have quietly won the trade deadline after all. 

With Ryan Helsley, Steven Matz, and Phil Maton all out of the playoffs, did John Mozeliak get the last laugh before passing the torch to Chaim Bloom?

Plus, the guys revisit Tommy Edman’s breakout postseason last year, whether fans prefer to see ex-Cards fail or thrive elsewhere, and what Blaze Jordan’s arrival could mean for the Bloom era.

      <title>Reds open the floodgates against Cardinals bullpen | Cards Central Postgame</title>
      <description>Luke Slabaugh and Brenden Schaeffer break down the Cardinals battle with the Reds from Monday night at Busch Stadium.

The Cardinals rallied to take Matthew Liberatore off the hook (Libby had a quality start, in his own right), but the back-and-forth battle of the bullpens favored the Reds heading into the ninth inning. From there, the Reds opened up the floodgates and ended up piling it on against Kyle Leahy.

      <title>Cardinals (eventually) lose in extras, swept by the Mariners! Cards Central Postgame</title>
      <description>Chris Pelikan and Brenden Schaeffer break down the INSANE matchup between the Cardinals and Mariners from Wednesday night. The Cardinals sent Michael McGreevy to the mound to try and avoid the sweep, and the rookie pitched well. But it was another night that saw little offensive production from St. Louis in this series. As the game moved to extras, the intensity ramped up even more.

Riley O'Brien showed some moxie in a 10th-inning high-wire act to extend the game deeper into the night. 

Eventually, Thomas Saggese came through with the RBI swing to put the Cardinals ahead in the top of the 11th. But could the Redbirds couldn't hold that lead and ROB gave up the tying hit to begin the bottom of the 11th.

After another escape by ROB extended the game to the 12th, the Cardinal offense went down in order. That gave way to Ryan Fernandez, who pitched a clean 12th to carry the madness forward.

      <title>The Caray Show! Chip, Stefan, Chris Preview Cards-Athletics | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Stefan welcomes listeners to a “special edition” of Cards Central 365, joined by his father, longtime Cardinals broadcaster Chip Caray, and his twin brother Chris Caray, who works with NBC Sports and covers the Athletics. The show centered on the Cardinals’ lopsided Labor Day loss to Oakland (11–3), while also highlighting both teams’ futures and family dynamics.



A’s offensive surge: Oakland exploded late, scoring 8 runs between the 6th and 8th innings. They’ve built a reputation as a late-scoring, young offensive team with nearly half their runs coming via home runs.



Cardinals struggles: Sonny Gray was hit hard, particularly by back-to-back home runs that shifted momentum. The Cardinals’ bullpen of younger arms couldn’t contain the A’s lineup.



Chip’s perspective: He noted the A’s long tradition of roster turnover, but praised their “impressive young offensive bunch” as legitimate long-term threats.



The Carays mixed in plenty of humor:

Jokes about Chris’ pale complexion and “Twilight vampire casting.”

Playful banter over who inherited what traits from their dad.

A running gag about hugs, handshakes, and Chip “peacocking” in his new St. Louis role compared to Atlanta.

Chip grew reflective, expressing pride in his sons’ careers in broadcasting and appreciation for being able to share the booth and the family’s “business.”

      <title>Can Jordan Walker Reach His Potential? | Cards Central 365</title>
      <description>Grant Salsman and Brenden Schaeffer discuss the St. Louis Cardinals after the club split the first two games of the series against the Athletics. A big topic of conversation surrounding the team this week, too, revolves around the recent comments that hitting coach Brant Brown made regarding Jordan Walker on KMOX.

Can the Cardinals help Walker reach his potential? It's one of the questions that looms over the winter for the organization, to be sure.

      <title>BEST WIN OF THE YEAR?! St. Louis Cardinals-Cubs Is OFF THE RAILS! Cards Central Postgame</title>
      <description>Chris Pelikan and Brenden Schaeffer break down a wild game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals got the win 8-7 as Ryan Helsley held on for dear life with some help from his All-World defender at third base, Nolan Arenado.

Michael McGreevy didn't have the start he wanted, but the Cardinal bats were robust once again, slugging in a major way against the Cubs pitching staff.

This game had bombs from Nootbaar and Gorman, it had Alec Burleson web gems, PCA blunders, pretty much everything you could ask for in a rivalry matchup.

      <title>Breaking down the St. Louis Cardinals Roster</title>
      <description>Roster Breakdown for Opening Day
The Cardinals have finalized their 26-man roster for the season.

The biggest surprise was Michael Siani making the team, especially since Victor Scott also made it as the starting center fielder.


Jose Fermin was initially told he made the roster but was ultimately left off, which raised questions about possible last-minute changes in decisions.

Starting Rotation &amp; Pitching Decisions

Matthew Liberatore being named to the rotation was a significant surprise, especially with Steven Matz moving to the bullpen.

The Cardinals are experimenting with a six-man rotation starting April 16, possibly to manage workloads and accommodate Sonny Gray, whose velocity has been down.


Michael McGreevy had a strong spring but will start in Memphis, likely due to roster constraints.


Miles Mikolas’ performance in the first few weeks may determine his long-term role, as the team has young pitchers waiting for opportunities.


Bullpen moves were expected, with Roycroft and Leahy making the team, while Nick Anderson went unclaimed and will start in Memphis.

Bench Construction &amp; Position Players
The final bench spot came down to Michael Siani vs. Jose Fermin, and the team opted for Siani’s defensive versatility in the outfield.


Masyn Winn is expected to play 162 games at shortstop, making a true backup middle infielder unnecessary.


Luken Baker earned a roster spot as a right-handed bench bat.

The team might experiment with a defensive-heavy late-game outfield of Nootbaar (LF), Siani (CF), and Scott (RF) to support pitching.

Looking Ahead
The Cardinals open the season against the Twins, with Sonny Gray set to pitch.


Lineup construction discussions will continue, including the leadoff role, with candidates like Masyn Winn, Victor Scott, Lars Nootbaar, and Brendan Donovan.

The postgame shows will begin after every game on Sports Hub STL.

Tribute to Brian McKennaThe episode closed with a heartfelt tribute to Brian McKenna, a well-known St. Louis radio personality who was tragically killed. Both hosts shared memories of his positivity and impact.

      <title>Gray and McGreevy start split squad games for St. Louis Cardinals</title>
      <description>The episode focused on the St. Louis Cardinals' split-squad games, highlighting the contrasting performances of Sonny Gray and Michael McGreevy. Gray, named the team's Opening Day starter, continued to struggle, posting an alarming ERA of 12.56 after another rough outing against the Astros. Meanwhile, McGreevy delivered an outstanding performance, pitching five innings of one-hit ball. The hosts speculated about McGreevy’s role, debating whether he would make the Opening Day roster or begin the season in Memphis.  

They also discussed position player performances, including Masyn Winn’s struggles at the plate and Victor Scott’s impressive spring, which included his fourth home run. There was speculation about whether Scott could hit leadoff instead of Winn to start the season.  

The conversation shifted to the Cardinals’ projected Opening Day lineup and rotation, based on MLB and Sports Hub STL projections. The hosts debated various lineup options, the best leadoff choice, and whether Contreras should bat second. They also touched on the Cardinals' bullpen situation, questioning Phil Maton's availability for the start of the season.  

Later in the episode, they reviewed all 30 MLB Opening Day pitching matchups, highlighting exciting duels such as Braves-Padres, Guardians-Royals (Cole Ragans vs. Shane Bieber), and Pirates-Marlins (Paul Skenes vs. Sandy Alcántara). They also discussed Paul Skenes' potential and compared his rapid rise to past phenoms like Stephen Strasburg.  

The episode wrapped up with a preview of Sports Hub STL’s upcoming Cardinals coverage, including extensive Opening Day content and predictions for the season.

      <itunes:summary>The episode focused on the St. Louis Cardinals' split-squad games, highlighting the contrasting performances of Sonny Gray and Michael McGreevy. Gray, named the team's Opening Day starter, continued to struggle, posting an alarming ERA of 12.56 after another rough outing against the Astros. Meanwhile, McGreevy delivered an outstanding performance, pitching five innings of one-hit ball. The hosts speculated about McGreevy’s role, debating whether he would make the Opening Day roster or begin the season in Memphis.  

They also discussed position player performances, including Masyn Winn’s struggles at the plate and Victor Scott’s impressive spring, which included his fourth home run. There was speculation about whether Scott could hit leadoff instead of Winn to start the season.  

The conversation shifted to the Cardinals’ projected Opening Day lineup and rotation, based on MLB and Sports Hub STL projections. The hosts debated various lineup options, the best leadoff choice, and whether Contreras should bat second. They also touched on the Cardinals' bullpen situation, questioning Phil Maton's availability for the start of the season.  

Later in the episode, they reviewed all 30 MLB Opening Day pitching matchups, highlighting exciting duels such as Braves-Padres, Guardians-Royals (Cole Ragans vs. Shane Bieber), and Pirates-Marlins (Paul Skenes vs. Sandy Alcántara). They also discussed Paul Skenes' potential and compared his rapid rise to past phenoms like Stephen Strasburg.  

The episode wrapped up with a preview of Sports Hub STL’s upcoming Cardinals coverage, including extensive Opening Day content and predictions for the season.

      <title>St. Louis Cardinals last off day of Spring Training</title>
      <description>Recap of the St. Louis Cardinals Podcast with Joe Roderick &amp; Matt Rocchio
Joe Roderick and Matt Rocchio covered key topics as the Cardinals wrapped up their last off day of Spring Training.
Key Topics Discussed:Spring Training Roster Battles:


A split-squad game is scheduled, featuring Sonny Gray and Michael McGreevy.

The hosts discussed how these performances might shape roster decisions.

Sonny Gray has struggled, while McGreevy continues to impress.


The Six-Man Rotation Debate:

The idea of a six-man rotation was mentioned earlier but hasn’t been discussed by the team recently.

Roderick and Rocchio believe it’s unlikely but predict at least six different starters will be used in April.

McGreevy’s role could be a hybrid one, potentially working as a reliever in some cases, though Rocchio argued against it.


Center Field Controversy:

The debate between Victor Scott and Michael Siani continues.

Scott has outperformed Siani offensively, but team decisions seem influenced by larger roster concerns.

The lineup is complicated by balancing at-bats for Nolan Gorman, Lars Nootbaar, Brendan Donovan, and Alec Burleson.


NL Central Outlook &amp; Cardinals Roster Strength:

The Cardinals were not ranked among the top 10 pitching staffs in MLB.

The Cubs’ signing of Kyle Tucker raised concerns about the division’s competitiveness.

The Brewers consistently develop pitching depth despite losing key starters.

Who’s the Best Basketball Player on the Cardinals?

A fun debate led to Chris Roycroft (6’8”, former D3 player) being the consensus pick.

Other notable mentions included Alec Burleson, Michael McGreevy, and Jordan Walker for their athleticism.

Final Thoughts:The Cardinals have a lot of roster questions still unanswered, especially in pitching and center field. The team seems to have its lineup mostly figured out, with Nootbaar likely starting in center. Meanwhile, concerns remain about pitching depth and the overall competitiveness of the NL Central.

      <title>St. Louis Cardinals can't leave Victor Scott II off the Opening Day roster... right?</title>
      <description>Podcast Recap: Cards Hub 365 with Joe Roderick &amp; Brenden Schaeffer
In the latest episode of Cards Hub 365, hosts Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer discuss the St. Louis Cardinals’ spring training developments as Opening Day approaches. The main topic of conversation centers around outfielder Victor Scott II, who has played his way into the roster conversation with an impressive spring performance.
Key Takeaways:
Victor Scott’s Case for the Roster

Scott has showcased unexpected power, hitting three home runs in fewer than 50 plate appearances.

Despite struggling offensively in 2024, his speed and defensive potential make him an intriguing option.

The Cardinals face a numbers game—finding a way to fit him into a crowded lineup of 10 deserving everyday players for 9 spots.

The possibility of Scott serving as a high-impact bench player, using his speed as a late-game weapon, was also discussed.


Cardinals’ Lineup and Depth Considerations


The lineup is taking shape, with several players heating up at the right time, including Lars Nootbaar and Wilson Contreras.


The hosts analyze whether Burleson and Scott can be kept out of the lineup daily while still getting the necessary playing time for Nolan Gorman and others.



Defensive flexibility could be a key factor in how the team distributes playing time across positions.





Pitching Staff Outlook


Steven Matz impressed with a six-inning, one-run performance, fueling optimism about his role in the rotation.

The hosts predict ERAs for key starters, including Sonny Gray (~3.7), Eric Fedde (~3.4), and Matz (~3.8).

Concerns remain about Miles Mikolas (potentially around 4.8 ERA) and whether Michael McGreevy can step up if given an opportunity.

The ability of Cardinals’ starters to consistently pitch deeper into games could significantly impact the bullpen and overall team success.

Other Key Storylines



The possibility of Mason Wynn’s durability being a concern, as there are limited backup shortstop options.



Roster decisions involving José Barrero and Pedro Pagés will be closely watched as cuts are finalized.




Sonny Gray and McGreevy will be the starters in Friday’s split-squad games, a crucial test before Opening Day.


Final Thoughts

The Cardinals' win total could land anywhere between 80-90, depending on health and whether pitching holds up.

The team’s depth and flexibility make them better prepared for injuries compared to previous years.


College basketball picks were also a side discussion, with Brenden revealing a bold High Point over Purdue upset prediction in March Madness.


With Opening Day just around the corner, the Cardinals’ final roster decisions will be crucial. Will Victor Scott II make the team? And if he does, how will the Cardinals balance playing time? Stay tuned for more updates from Cards Hub 365!

      <title>Miles Mikolas goes 6 for St Louis Cardinals. Winn scratched with wrist soreness</title>
      <description>In this episode of Cards Hub 365, hosts Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne discuss the latest developments from the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training.
Key Topics Discussed:

Miles Mikolas' Strong Outing

Mikolas pitched six solid innings, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks. He maintained good control, retiring eight batters in a row at one point. The hosts highlighted that opposing hitters weren't making solid contact, which is a promising sign as the regular season approaches.

Bullpen Struggles in the Ninth

The Cardinals' bullpen allowed the Miami Marlins to tie the game in the ninth inning. Zach Weiss, a journeyman pitcher, struggled in his appearance. Claiborne noted that Weiss is unlikely to impact the Cardinals' season.

Masyn Winn's Wrist Soreness

Shortstop Masyn Winn was scratched from the lineup due to wrist soreness. The hosts emphasized caution, noting that wrist injuries can be tricky. However, they speculated that it was likely a precautionary move rather than a serious issue.

Opening Day Roster Battles

Several players, including Luken Baker, are still fighting for roster spots. With multiple off-days in April, the Cardinals have flexibility in their roster decisions.

Final Spring Training Stretch

With just a few games left in spring training, players on the roster bubble are making their last push to secure a spot. Former pitcher Brad Thompson weighed in, explaining that this time is critical for players on the fringe of making the team.

Upcoming Start for Steven Matz

Matz has had an impressive spring, showing consistency and efficiency. The hosts will be watching his upcoming start against the Washington Nationals to see if he can continue his strong form.

Broadcasting and Media Updates

Claiborne wrapped up the discussion by mentioning his final spring training broadcast, highlighting the importance of listening to radio coverage as some games are not televised.

Final Thoughts:
The Cardinals are nearing the end of spring training with relatively good health, but final roster decisions remain. Mikolas looks ready for the season, while the bullpen still has some question marks. Masyn Winn’s status will be closely monitored as Opening Day approaches.

      <title>Cards Hub 365: Pallante Starts in Cardinals Spring Training</title>
      <description>Recap of Cards Hub 365 Podcast – Hosted by Joe Roderick and Hunter Mulholland
In the latest episode of Cards Hub 365, hosts Joe Roderick and Hunter Mulholland discuss the ongoing battle for a spot in the St. Louis Cardinals' starting rotation during spring training. The focus of this episode was on Andre Pallante’s performance as he competes for a role against Michael McGreevy.
Key Takeaways from the Podcast:
Andre Pallante’s Struggles:

 Pallante started against the Toronto Blue Jays, pitching five innings while allowing six hits, three runs (two earned), and striking out five. His ERA remains high at 6.92, raising questions about his future role on the team.

Michael McGreevy’s Case for the Rotation:

 McGreevy continues to impress, despite giving up a home run to Juan Soto in a previous start. His solid outings are putting pressure on Pallante, making it increasingly likely that he could earn a rotation spot.

Pallante’s Future – Rotation or Bullpen?

 The discussion centered on whether Pallante would start the season in the bullpen, where he has performed well in the past, or remain stretched out as a depth starter in Triple-A Memphis. With left-hander Matthew Liberatore also serving as a long relief option, the team must determine how many long relievers they want to carry.

Bullpen and Rotation Outlook:


Ryan Helsley and JoJo Romero both had solid outings in relief.

The Cardinals are still evaluating their bullpen structure, including potential roles for Steven Matz and Miles Mikolas.

Sonny Gray is set to start against the Marlins, and his workload will be closely monitored as opening day nears.

Jordan Walker Returns to Action:

 After missing a week with a minor knee issue, Walker returned to the lineup, a positive sign for the Cardinals’ outfield plans. His return, however, adds to the competition for playing time between Lars Nootbaar and Alec Burleson, both of whom homered in the game.

Crowded Outfield Decisions Looming:

 With Burleson, Nootbaar, and rookie Victor Scott II vying for playing time, questions remain about Brendan Donovan’s role. The hosts debate whether Donovan will play more outfield or second base, depending on how the lineup shakes out.

Other Roster Updates:

Riley O’Brien was optioned to Memphis, reducing the number of bullpen candidates.

José Barrero’s solid hitting this spring could impact fringe roster players like Matt Koperniak, likely sending him to Triple-A to start the season.

The Cardinals defeated the Blue Jays 9-5, though Toronto did not send many of their regulars for the game. Looking ahead, Sonny Gray’s next start will be a key focus as the team prepares for opening day on March 27.
The episode concluded with reminders of upcoming postgame shows for the St. Louis Blues and St. Louis City SC, as well as a special NCAA Tournament selection show the following evening.

      <title>Cardinals Sign Maton, Graceffo Optioned, Solid Day for Matz</title>
      <description>Key Topics Discussed:


Phil Maton Signing: The Cardinals have signed veteran reliever Phil Maton to a one-year, $2 million deal. The hosts discussed how the team pursued him last year but couldn't reach a deal until now. They see Maton as a solid bullpen addition who could either help stabilize the team or become a trade asset if the Cardinals struggle.


Bullpen Discussion: With Michael McGreevy and Gordon Graceffo in the mix, the Cardinals' bullpen will likely be a revolving door throughout the season. The potential for trading Ryan Helsley and how bullpen roles could evolve was also analyzed.


Gordon Graceffo Optioned: The decision to send Graceffo to Triple-A suggests the team wants to keep him stretched out as a starting pitcher, rather than moving him into a bullpen role early in the season.


Cardinals' Offensive Struggles in Spring Training: The team has struggled offensively, ranking among the worst in MLB for spring training scoring. While the hosts acknowledge spring training stats aren't always predictive, they note concerns over whether certain players will rebound.


Yvonne Herrera’s Strong Spring: The young catcher has been impressive offensively, which could force the Cardinals to give him significant playing time, even at DH when not catching.


Potential Role for Luken Baker: With his strong spring performance, Baker could see time as a right-handed bat off the bench or even get starts at DH against left-handed pitching.


Rotation Depth Chart: Brendan speculated that McGreevy might be the Cardinals' sixth starter option, followed by Graceffo, and that Matthew Liberatore may be destined for a bullpen role.

Other Discussions:

The unpredictability of relief pitchers and how bullpen arms can drastically change effectiveness year to year.

The impact of coaching and minor adjustments in pitch grips that can revive a reliever's career.

The Cardinals' offensive lineup projections, debating whether key players will improve or struggle.

Quick updates on the Blues, Mizzou basketball, and a St. Louis Billikens win.

Final Takeaways:

While the Maton signing is a low-risk move, the Cardinals' overall bullpen strategy remains a work in progress.

The team’s offensive struggles in spring training are concerning, but many key players are expected to bounce back.

The competition for playing time at catcher and DH will be worth watching, especially with Herrera’s emergence.

The rotation and bullpen depth remain fluid, with young arms expected to get opportunities throughout the season.

      <title>Bats Go Quiet Again in Jupiter</title>
      <description>Episode Summary: "Solid Pitching but Bats Quiet"
Game Recap:

The St. Louis Cardinals lost 2-0 in a spring training game against the Mets, with their offense struggling once again.

The lineup featured mostly Major League-level players, yet they managed just two hits against pitcher Paul Blackburn, who had an ERA close to five last season.

Miles Mikolas delivered a strong performance, pitching five innings and allowing only one run.

Concerns About the Offense:

Despite the presence of regulars like Jordan Walker, Lars Nootbaar, and Nolan Arenado, the offense was lackluster.

This is a concerning trend, given that the season is approaching and the team has a new hitting coach.

Schaeffer and Roderick questioned whether the Cardinals can truly improve after an underwhelming offseason with little roster movement.

Fan Buy-In &amp; Outlook for the Season:

The hosts discussed whether fans will remain engaged if the team starts slowly.

The team’s inconsistent offensive performances in spring training have raised doubts about whether they can rebound from last year’s struggles.

Betting lines have the Cardinals projected for around 77-78 wins, with Roderick leaning optimistically toward 87 wins but acknowledging the team’s wide variance.

Pitching Bright Spot: Tekoah Roby

One major highlight was prospect Tekoah Roby’s dominant two-inning outing, where he struck out four batters.

The hosts debated whether Roby could contribute at the Major League level this season, either as a reliever or a late-season starter.

Looking Ahead:

The Cardinals will continue their spring training schedule, including a breakout prospect game on Friday.

The hosts emphasized the importance of seeing a full-strength lineup perform better in the final weeks before Opening Day.

Overall, while the Cardinals’ pitching looked solid, their offensive struggles remain a major concern as the regular season approaches.

The hosts discussed whether fans will remain engaged if the team starts slowly.

The team’s inconsistent offensive performances in spring training have raised doubts about whether they can rebound from last year’s struggles.

Betting lines have the Cardinals projected for around 77-78 wins, with Roderick leaning optimistically toward 87 wins but acknowledging the team’s wide variance.

Pitching Bright Spot: Tekoah Roby

One major highlight was prospect Tekoah Roby’s dominant two-inning outing, where he struck out four batters.

The hosts debated whether Roby could contribute at the Major League level this season, either as a reliever or a late-season starter.

Looking Ahead:

The Cardinals will continue their spring training schedule, including a breakout prospect game on Friday.

The hosts emphasized the importance of seeing a full-strength lineup perform better in the final weeks before Opening Day.

Overall, while the Cardinals’ pitching looked solid, their offensive struggles remain a major concern as the regular season approaches.

      <title>Cards Hub 365: Fedde Falters, Barrero Asserting Himself For Bench Role?</title>
      <description>Pitching Struggles Continue

The hosts discussed the struggles of Cardinals starting pitchers, particularly Eric Fedde and Sonny Gray, both of whom gave up home runs in their latest outings.

While some of the struggles could be attributed to pitchers "working on things" during spring training, the concern is that Fedde and Gray are supposed to be the top two starters.

The importance of the bullpen was emphasized, as weaker starting pitching could put extra strain on relievers.

Center Field Battle

Victor Scott II has impressed in spring training and appears to have the inside track for the starting center field job.

Lars Nootbaar is also getting a lot of reps in center field, possibly as a backup plan in case Scott struggles.

Michael Siani, who was once in the conversation, has had a rough spring (batting .046) and could start the season in AAA.

Jose Barrero Making a Case for the Bench

Infielder Jose Barrero has performed well in camp and is pushing for a spot on the Opening Day roster.

The issue is that he's not currently on the 40-man roster, meaning a roster move would need to be made.

His versatility and right-handed bat could make him a valuable piece off the bench.

Potential Rotation Adjustments

The hosts discussed the idea of using piggyback starts, where two pitchers split a game to maximize innings and limit bullpen stress.

Matthew Liberatore and Michael McGreevy were mentioned as potential long-relief or piggyback options.

Concerns were raised about velocity dips for pitchers like Andre Pallante, though the hosts were optimistic about his role.

Trade Speculation &amp; Season Outlook

Some fans are already speculating about potential trades involving pitchers like Fedde or Steven Matz, but the hosts pushed back, noting the Cardinals lack depth.

They emphasized the importance of maintaining innings-eating starters rather than moving them for short-term gains.

The offense remains a question mark, particularly in terms of consistency from players like Nolan Arenado, Nolan Gorman, and Lars Nootbaar.

The final 10 games of spring training will be crucial in setting the tone for the season.

Final Thoughts

The hosts reminded listeners that spring training is still ongoing, and overreactions aren't helpful.

The Cardinals’ coaching staff is closely evaluating players, and final roster decisions will be made soon.

The team must find a balance between developing young talent and competing in 2024.

      <title>Yadier Molina comments on the Cardinals off-season</title>
      <description>The hosts discussed the latest developments in St. Louis Cardinals spring training, focusing on lineup decisions, player performances, and expectations for the upcoming season. They highlighted the emergence of Victor Scott as a serious outfield contender, while questioning Michael Siani’s struggles at the plate. The infield competition remains tight, with Jose Barrera and Jose Fermín battling for utility roles.
Nolan Gorman’s inconsistencies were noted, though his recent improved hitting gives hope. Alec Burleson's role remains uncertain despite his strong offensive contributions last year. The team is trying to find creative ways to keep him in the lineup, particularly at first base and designated hitter.
Off the field, the hosts analyzed Yadier Molina’s recent comments criticizing the Cardinals' lack of major free-agent signings. They debated whether the team should have pursued big-name players and whether the organization’s spending philosophy aligns with winning expectations.
Additionally, the podcast touched on Jim Bowden’s report card in The Athletic, which gave the Cardinals an "F" grade for their offseason moves. Claiborne defended the team, arguing that the front office is focusing on development rather than flashy acquisitions.
The episode wrapped up with a preview of Sonny Gray’s upcoming start and a discussion on how the team is shaping up as spring training progresses. With questions surrounding depth and performance, the Cardinals remain a mystery heading into the season, but the hosts believe they could outperform expectations.

      <title>Looking at Willson Contreras' Spring</title>
      <description>Main Topic: Willson Contreras’ Move to First Base
The hosts focused on the major offseason decision to transition Willson Contreras from catcher to first base. They highlighted how this change has received little national attention despite its significance. They discussed how Contreras, relieved of catching duties, now has the opportunity to fully focus on his offense, potentially leading to a breakout season.
Key Points:

Contreras’ Offensive Potential:

Without the burden of managing a pitching staff, Contreras could have a more productive offensive year.

He has already shown power, with multiple 20+ home run seasons despite limited plate appearances.

If he reaches 600+ plate appearances, he could become a 30-35 home run hitter, ranking among the top offensive first basemen in the NL.

Adjusting to First Base:

The lack of news about his defensive transition is viewed as a positive sign.

His experience as a catcher handling low throws and quick reactions may aid in his transition.

Spring Training Performance &amp; Outlook:

Contreras has been hitting well early in spring training, showing power and efficiency.

The Cardinals' success this season could depend on his offensive production.

Comparisons were made to other first basemen like Pete Alonso, Matt Olson, and Freddie Freeman.

Other Topics Discussed:

The importance of Brendan Donovan’s development.

The Cardinals’ overall outlook for the season, with playoff hopes dependent on key players stepping up.

A discussion on baseball cards, including the Cardinals’ social media post featuring players’ childhood pictures and the resurgence of card collecting.

Closing Thoughts:
The episode emphasized that if Contreras thrives offensively and his defensive transition goes smoothly, he could be a key factor in the Cardinals’ success. While expectations for the team are tempered, there is optimism that they could compete for a playoff spot.

      <title>Fan overreaction and a look at the bullpen</title>
      <description>Recap of the Latest "Cards Hub 365" Podcast with Joe Roderick &amp; Brendan Schaeffer
In their latest episode of Cards Hub 365, hosts Joe Roderick and Brendan Schaeffer broke down the St. Louis Cardinals' rough spring training loss to the Washington Nationals, a 12-1 blowout. While acknowledging fan frustrations, they emphasized that spring training performances should be taken with caution, as the real test comes once the regular season begins.
Key Discussion Points:🔴 Spring Training Overreactions: The hosts noted that many fans are already in panic mode, treating the team’s struggles as a sign of another disastrous season. They pointed out that other competitive teams, like the Phillies and Twins, also have poor spring records, but that doesn’t dictate regular-season outcomes.
⚾ Pitching Performance Analysis:


Takoa Roby: While his box score looked rough (2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 HR), Schaeffer defended him, saying he showed resilience after early trouble. A misplayed fly ball in center field hurt his outing.


Gordon Graceffo: Unlike Roby, Graceffo’s struggles were more concerning. He walked multiple batters and allowed hard contact, raising questions about whether his role will be as a starter in Triple-A or a bullpen arm in the majors.

🔥 Eric Fedde’s Value to the Cardinals: The hosts debated whether Fedde, who has a 3.72 ERA in St. Louis, should be traded. Some see him as a valuable trade chip, but Roderick and Schaeffer believe he is more useful in the Cardinals' rotation, especially considering the team’s lack of pitching depth.
⚡ Concerns Over the Offense &amp; Hitting Coach Brant Brown: The team’s offensive struggles were highlighted, with some fans questioning the impact of new hitting coach Brant Brown. The hosts agreed that while Brown was hired to improve situational hitting, the players ultimately need to perform, and spring training numbers don’t always tell the full story.
🔜 Upcoming Events:

The Cardinals play an evening game against the Astros tomorrow.

The Spring Breakout prospects game is set for March 14, where young talents like Quinn Matthews and J.J. Wetherholt will be showcased.

Overall, the episode balanced fan frustrations with measured analysis, urging listeners to wait for the regular season before making bold predictions about the team’s fate.

        <![CDATA[<h3><strong>Recap of the Latest "Cards Hub 365" Podcast with Joe Roderick &amp; Brendan Schaeffer</strong></h3><p>In their latest episode of <em>Cards Hub 365</em>, hosts Joe Roderick and Brendan Schaeffer broke down the St. Louis Cardinals' rough spring training loss to the Washington Nationals, a 12-1 blowout. While acknowledging fan frustrations, they emphasized that spring training performances should be taken with caution, as the real test comes once the regular season begins.</p><strong>Key Discussion Points:</strong><p>🔴 <strong>Spring Training Overreactions:</strong> The hosts noted that many fans are already in panic mode, treating the team’s struggles as a sign of another disastrous season. They pointed out that other competitive teams, like the Phillies and Twins, also have poor spring records, but that doesn’t dictate regular-season outcomes.</p><p>⚾ <strong>Pitching Performance Analysis:</strong></p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Takoa Roby:</strong> While his box score looked rough (2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 HR), Schaeffer defended him, saying he showed resilience after early trouble. A misplayed fly ball in center field hurt his outing.</li>
<li>
<strong>Gordon Graceffo:</strong> Unlike Roby, Graceffo’s struggles were more concerning. He walked multiple batters and allowed hard contact, raising questions about whether his role will be as a starter in Triple-A or a bullpen arm in the majors.</li>
</ul><p>🔥 <strong>Eric Fedde’s Value to the Cardinals:</strong> The hosts debated whether Fedde, who has a 3.72 ERA in St. Louis, should be traded. Some see him as a valuable trade chip, but Roderick and Schaeffer believe he is more useful in the Cardinals' rotation, especially considering the team’s lack of pitching depth.</p><p>⚡ <strong>Concerns Over the Offense &amp; Hitting Coach Brant Brown:</strong> The team’s offensive struggles were highlighted, with some fans questioning the impact of new hitting coach Brant Brown. The hosts agreed that while Brown was hired to improve situational hitting, the players ultimately need to perform, and spring training numbers don’t always tell the full story.</p><p>🔜 <strong>Upcoming Events:</strong></p><ul>
<li>The Cardinals play an evening game against the Astros tomorrow.</li>
<li>The <em>Spring Breakout</em> prospects game is set for March 14, where young talents like Quinn Matthews and J.J. Wetherholt will be showcased.</li>

      <title>McGreevy and Pallante start in Split Squad wins, Walker leaves with injury</title>
      <description>Here's a recap of the latest Cards Hub 365 podcast hosted by Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne:
The St. Louis Cardinals had a successful day, sweeping their split-squad games against the Mets and Nationals. The highlight performances included Mason Wynn getting his first hit, Nolan Arenado driving in runs, and Victor Scott continuing his strong hitting. Pitchers Michael McGreevy and Andre Pallante both delivered solid outings, with McGreevy throwing three scoreless innings in West Palm Beach and Pallante doing the same in Jupiter.
However, the most concerning news was an injury to Jordan Walker, who appeared to tweak his knee while making a routine play. The severity is still unknown, and further evaluation will take place in Jupiter.
Other key discussions included the potential role of Victor Scott II, who is making a strong case to start the season in the majors, and the ongoing competition for rotation spots. Matthew Liberatore also had a strong outing, but his role might be more valuable out of the bullpen. McGreevy remains an intriguing option as a starter if injuries create an opportunity.
The show wrapped up with talk about MLB’s top 100 prospect rankings, with J.J. Weatherholt surprisingly listed as the Cardinals’ top prospect. Claiborne expressed skepticism over how these rankings are determined, while Roderick noted the continued debate over Takoa Roby’s place in the organization.
Looking ahead, Sonny Gray is set to make his first spring training appearance, with expectations for him to throw around 50 pitches. Claiborne praised Gray’s preparation and approach to pitching.
Overall, the episode covered the Cardinals’ positive performances, roster battles, injury concerns, and future pitching plans.

      <title>News on Quinn Mathews and Zack Thompson </title>
      <description>Here's a recap of the latest Cards Hub 365 podcast hosted by Joe Roderick and Brendan Schaeffer:
Key Topics Discussed:
Quinn Mathews Sent to Minor League Camp

Mathews was sent down earlier than expected, surprising some, including the hosts.

Speculation that the Cardinals want him to develop further rather than being an emergency option.

Zack Thompson’s Injury

Thompson suffered a Grade 1 lat strain, sidelining him for several weeks.

This significantly impacts his ability to re-establish himself in the Cardinals' pitching depth.

Discussion on whether he was even a priority for the Memphis rotation before the injury.

Victor Scott II’s Rise

Scott is making a strong push for an Opening Day roster spot.

If he makes the team, the outfield dynamics could shift, affecting Alec Burleson and Michael Siani’s roles.

Hosts discuss the possibility of Scott playing every day versus being a fourth outfielder.

Cardinals’ Roster Decisions

Debating whether Brendan Donovan should primarily be an outfielder.

Questions surrounding Nolan Gorman’s role if he struggles.

Whether the team will prioritize offense over defense in lineup decisions.

Discussion about who makes the final bench spots (Siani vs. Luke &amp; Baker).

Potential Trade Talks &amp; Injury Watch Around MLB

Yankees’ Luis Gil and Braves’ Sean Murphy suffered injuries.

Speculation on how injuries across MLB could impact the trade market, particularly with the Cardinals' pitching depth.

Hosts believe the Cardinals won’t rush to trade Erik Fedde or Steven Matz unless the right opportunity arises.

Upcoming Spring Training Games &amp; Player Watch

Split-squad action coming up, with pitchers like Andre Pallante and Michael McGreevy taking the mound.

Hosts express interest in seeing McGreevy’s performance as he competes for a rotation spot.

The podcast wrapped up with lighthearted discussions about potential Cardinals merchandise and the idea of a "Takoa Roby Show." The hosts also joked about lineup flexibility, even throwing out the idea of Nolan Arenado at shortstop for fun.

      <title>Mikolas Starts, Saggese Walks it Off</title>
      <description>Brenden Schaeffer and Joe Roderick hosted their latest edition of Cards Hub 365 on Sports Hub STL, recapping the St. Louis Cardinals' 3-2 victory in Grapefruit League action. Thomas Saggese walked it off in the ninth inning, securing the win. The hosts discussed various aspects of the game, spring training trends, and key player performances.  

Game Highlights &amp; Spring Training Atmosphere  
- The Cardinals secured another spring training win, a point of excitement despite the exhibition nature of these games.  
- The hosts debated the quirks of spring training, including the possibility of extra innings and whether umpires and managers truly want extended games at this stage.  
- Discussion of how fans engage with spring training games and the unique access they get to players and behind-the-scenes action.  

 Player Spotlights
1. Nolan Gorman’s Struggles 
  - Gorman has yet to record a hit in spring training and has a concerning number of strikeouts.  
  - Schaeffer and Roderick discussed whether prolonged struggles could result in him starting in AAA rather than on the big-league roster.  
  - While the hosts acknowledged it’s still early, they debated at what point the Cardinals might need to make a tough decision regarding his role.  

2. Miles Mikolas' Performance
  - Mikolas made his second start of the spring but struggled, particularly with location in two-strike counts, leading to a home run allowed.  
  - The discussion centered on whether Mikolas will be able to rebound and justify his role in the rotation, especially given his contract situation and the emerging young arms in the Cardinals’ system.  

3. Prospects &amp; Roster Battles
  - Victor Scott II continues to impress with his hitting and speed, logging another stolen base and a hit.  
  - Alec Burleson and other young players like Thomas Saggese are making their case for playing time.  
  - The hosts examined the potential roster implications of these performances, including how the outfield and infield depth could impact player positioning.  

Cardinals Roster Construction &amp; Season Outlook
- The debate over whether Brendan Donovan should play second base or left field to maximize offensive production.  
- Lars Nootbaar’s role—whether he should remain in left or shift to center field to accommodate Donovan.  
- Pitching Depth Concerns
  - The hosts ran through possible pitching alternatives if Mikolas or others falter, including Tekoah Roby, Matthew Liberatore, and Michael McGreevy.  
  - Zach Thompson, once a promising arm, seems to have fallen out of favor, and the hosts questioned his future role in the organization.  

 Looking Ahead
- The hosts emphasized that spring training is still in its early stages, but trends are emerging that could impact Opening Day roster decisions.  
- Discussion of upcoming games and players to watch as the Cardinals continue to fine-tune their roster for the regular season.

      <title>How much should we read into Spring Training lineups?  Comparing Brendan Donovan to Ben Zobrist</title>
      <description>In this episode of Cards Hub 365, hosts Ryan Fagan and Joe Roderick dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' Spring Training and analyze what the lineup choices might indicate.

Key Topics Discussed:
Spring Training Standings:

The Cardinals' record in the Grapefruit League doesn’t hold much significance, as early results rarely reflect regular-season performance.
Comparison to teams like the Rockies, who had a strong start in Arizona, but that doesn’t necessarily mean future success.
Brendan Donovan &amp; Nolan Gorman’s Positions:

Donovan started at second base, while Gorman recently played third base.
Joe speculated this could signal potential roster moves, including Nolan Arenado trade rumors.
Ryan played devil’s advocate, suggesting these moves are just routine adjustments to give players experience.
Nolan Arenado’s Future &amp; Trade Speculation:

Discussion on whether Arenado’s no-trade clause limits potential suitors.
If injuries occur among the five teams he’s willing to accept a trade to, it could shake things up.

      <itunes:summary>In this episode of Cards Hub 365, hosts Ryan Fagan and Joe Roderick dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' Spring Training and analyze what the lineup choices might indicate.

Key Topics Discussed:
Spring Training Standings:

The Cardinals' record in the Grapefruit League doesn’t hold much significance, as early results rarely reflect regular-season performance.
Comparison to teams like the Rockies, who had a strong start in Arizona, but that doesn’t necessarily mean future success.
Brendan Donovan &amp; Nolan Gorman’s Positions:

Donovan started at second base, while Gorman recently played third base.
Joe speculated this could signal potential roster moves, including Nolan Arenado trade rumors.
Ryan played devil’s advocate, suggesting these moves are just routine adjustments to give players experience.
Nolan Arenado’s Future &amp; Trade Speculation:

Discussion on whether Arenado’s no-trade clause limits potential suitors.
If injuries occur among the five teams he’s willing to accept a trade to, it could shake things up.
The Cardinals' roster depth means moving Arenado would open opportunities for young players.
Brendan Donovan’s Potential Impact:

Comparison to Ben Zobrist (2009 season) as a versatile utility player who could be an MVP-caliber contributor.
