We are currently gathering details from this event, but it is our understanding that Carlos was not arrested nor are…
Rumors has swirled recently that the Cleveland Indians will be trading All Star Shortstop Francisco Lindor this winter, and every site is telling you why the Cardinals should trade for him. MLB.com even went as far as throwing together a decent package that could bring him to St. Louis: Harrison Bader, Tommy Edman, Johan Oviedo,…
Today starts the beginning of 2020-21 Free Agency. The Cardinals have 4 free agents: Brad Miller, Yadier Molina, Adam Wainwright, and Matt Wieters. They also have to decide today if they execute the club option on Kolten Wong; he’ll either make $12.5M or enter free agency. The team also currently has 41 players on the…
Each year, I look at the WAR for individual Cardinal players and look at how they were acquired to see where the Cardinals are struggling to find players. This year is done, but the exercise is pretty meaningless compared to a normal season; I found a few different reasons for this. First, the short season…
With the announcement that Dinelson Lamet and Mike Clevinger were not available for the Padres, the Cardinals were able to catch a break and take advantage of Chris Paddack in Game 1 of the series.

The Cardinals got the short end of the playoff seeding; while it’s a miracle they got a 5 seed (Covid-19 outbreak, roster shuffling, etc), they face the #4 Padres, who had the second best record in the NL. The teams never faced each other this year, but had a history of playoff matchups: the Padres…
If you go onto Cardinal Facebook Pages, you’ll notice that there are a few common complaints around the team right now. The team is not good, they didn’t make moves at the deadline, they let the wrong players go, they can’t scout players. While there are some truths there, people are focusing on the wrong…

A week ago, if you asked a Cardinals fan what the team needed to do to improve, the first thing they would say was promote Dylan Carlson. The myth of the man had grown to a point that he was the savior for the season. It kind of reminds me of another outfield prospect with…
