Minor League Baseball announced the 2026 High Class-A award winners and All-Star selections for the Midwest, Northwest, and South Atlantic Leagues. Position players Charles Davalan, Felnin Celesten, and Theo Gillen earned Most Valuable Player honors for their performance during the season across their respective leagues.
Hancel Rincon is a right-handed relief pitcher recently promoted to the St. Louis Cardinals roster. A former starting pitcher, Rincon improved significantly after transitioning to the bullpen, where his strikeout potential increased and his pitch profile played up.
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.
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 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.
We got 2 weeks of #Cardinals News and rumors to catch up on. I won’t go into Sonny Gray (as that’s already been covered on the site) but there have been other happenings with the team. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #baseball #hotstove #rumors #news #transactions
A busy deadline eve had transitions into an even busier deadline. The #Cardinals completed their trades with the #Mets (Ryan Helsley for 3 prospects) & Red Sox (Steven Matz for Blaze Jordan), but they still have a few guys out on the market. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #baseball #tradedeadline #rumors
Last time I looked at what the #Cardinals should do; now we look at what’s starting to happened, at least rumored to happen. Everything here came out over the last 5 days or so; older rumors are so out of date or over-reported that I’m not going to include them. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #baseball #tradedeadline #rumors
