The St. Louis Cardinals expanded their active roster by promoting catcher Leo Bernal, right-handed pitcher Hancel Rincón, and outfielder Victor Scott II. To make room on the roster, catcher Jimmy Crooks was optioned to Triple-A Memphis.
The Cardinals return from their longest road trip of the season to open a 6-game homestand at Busch Stadium starting with a 3-game Interleague series against the Orioles, followed by a 3 game weekend series vs the Pirates.
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 the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 35 players with RHP Richard Fitts being optioned to Memphis (AAA). The move pretty much sets the rotation.
The Cardinals announced yesterday that the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 36 players, with 7 players moving to minor league camp.
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 today that the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 43 players, with 3 players being re-assigned to minor league camp.
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 is the final 5 of the #Cardinals prospect rankings; and there should be no surprised here. 4 of the 5 we could see as early as this year. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #milb #baseball #prospects
