Redbird Droppings: Trade Deadline Rundown
As expected, the #Cardinals sold off a few players; maybe a few less than I would have liked. Here are the releases from the Cardinals about the 3 deals they conducted and scouting reports on the deals.

As expected, the #Cardinals sold off a few players; maybe a few less than I would have liked. Here are the releases from the Cardinals about the 3 deals they conducted and scouting reports on the deals.

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.

The Cardinals return to Busch Stadium to open an 8-game homestand starting with a make-up game with the Diamondbacks, followed by a pair of rivalry series with a 3-game weekend series against the Reds, and a 4-game series versus the Cubs.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so a mid-season update is perfect. Especially in a season where we expected the worst from the Cardinals and aren’t getting that.

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 are back at Busch Stadium for a brief three-game homestand with the San Diego Padres (June 15-17).

The Cardinals return to Busch Stadium to begin the first of a 9-game homestand w/ a pair of 3-game rivalry weekend series versus the Cubs & Reds, sandwiched around 3 Interleague games with the Rangers.

The Cardinals are back at Busch Stadium to begin a 6-game homestand starting with a 3-game Interleague series vs the Royals as part of the 2nd annual “Rivalry Weekend” that will take place throughout MLB this weekend, followed by 3 games against division foe Pirates.

The Cardinals are back at Busch Stadium to open a 6-game Interleague homestand starting with a 3-game weekend series against the Red Sox, followed by 3 w/ the Guardians.

The Cardinals will begin their 135th season in the NL tomorrow when they host the #Rays at 3:15p CDT in the season opening game of the 162-game MLB regular season. The team announced this morning that rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt had his contract selected from AAA Memphis.

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.
