The trade deadline is Monday, August 3rd, and I expect the Cardinals to be active. I'm hoping as sellers because this team is close, but they won't compete in the post season with how the roster is currently constructed.
I think it's safe to say no one saw the Cardinals being 7 games over .500 and a wild card contender coming to the halfway point of the season. It's been a fun season so far and it's the type of baseball Cardinals fans have missed the last few years. That said, there are some major issue with this team and a few moves to fix them.
The Cardinals announced that they have signed 29 of their pre-arbitration service time players to contracts for the '26 season & that SS Masyn Winn has opted to have his contract renewed. The team now has all players on its 40-player MLB roster under contract for the season.
The Cardinals announced 2 sets of roster moves since Saturday's game, including a few big name prospects that were still in camp. Here are a few thoughts and who is still in camp.
Here are the next 5 #Cardinals prospects in my ranking: 16-20. We get a blend of low floor pitchers & high ceiling hitters; the pitchers in this group are closer to the #MLB than the hitters. No matter what, it's an exciting group of players. #stlcards #forthelou #milb #baseball #prospects
Besides the normal chatter in #baseball, today is the non-tender deadline; teams will decide if they'll offer contracts to their players under club control. #stlcards #cardinals #forthelou #mlb #hotstove

The big league club was off yesterday, but all the affiliates played (and not well). 4 system games tonight. There were a couple of system transactions and some former Cardinal news.
