The St. Louis Cardinals have announced the return of the Holiday Season Opener, a festive experience event at Busch Stadium, on Sunday, November 22 from 11AM-3PM. The event will kick off the holiday season allowing fans of all ages the chance to explore behind-the-scenes areas, take photos in memorable locations, and shop exclusive discounts.
The team's salary matrix tracks payroll projections through 2035, highlighting active roster contracts and retained financial obligations for former players. Offseason updates will reflect official arbitration tenders, free agency decisions, and potential non-tenders among pre-arbitration players.
The 2026–27 Major League Baseball off-season schedule includes early November free agency deadlines, the December Winter Meetings, and January arbitration filings. Spring Training begins in February 2027, leading up to Opening Day on March 25. The Hall of Fame voting results and various player drafts also occur then.
The St. Louis Cardinals will host their final regular-season homestand of 2026 at Busch Stadium, featuring nine games against the Chicago White Sox, San Francisco Giants, and Washington Nationals. Highlights include celebrating the 2006 World Series anniversary and inducting new members into the team's Hall of Fame.
The Cardinals are back at Busch Stadium to open a six-game homestand starting with a three-game weekend series against the Colorado Rockies (August 7-9), followed by three games versus the Philadelphia Phillies (August 10-12).
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.
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 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.
