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 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.
