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.

Cardinals Care, the charitable foundation of the St. Louis Cardinals, today announced the launch of its Caring for Kids Campaign, a week-long fundraising initiative beginning today that gives fans multiple opportunities to support children throughout the region.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that the team has agreed to an eight-year contract extension with rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt that will keep the 2024 1st round draft choice in the organization through the 2034 season.

The St. Louis Cardinals today announced new executive appointments as part of a long-planned leadership succession strategy reflecting the organization’s vision and commitment to excellence.

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 will open the ’26 season at Busch Stadium against the Rays at 3:15 PM CT. A pregame ceremony that introduces the 2026 Cardinals, honors the club’s Hall of Famers & celebrates the great tradition of Opening Day in St. Louis will highlight the annual return of baseball at Busch on Thursday.

The Cardinals announced Sunday morning they have extended the contract of manager Oliver Marmol for 2 additional seasons, bringing him back until the end of the 2028 season.
