Since the 2023 trade deadline, the St. Louis Cardinals have shifted strategy by trading veteran players for prospects. Driven by management changes aimed at rebuilding the farm system, these transactions targeted long-term depth rather than immediate major league impact. How have they worked out?
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 announced their selections for MiLB Pitcher and co-Player of the Month for April, with Peoria (A+) RHSP Yhoiker Fajardo, Memphis (AAA) IF Blaze Jordan, and Palm Beach (A) IF Jack Gurevitch receiving the honors.
Here's the next round of #Cardinals prospects - 21 through 25. 3 were acquired in the last year in trade, showing how Chaim Bloom's front office is revamping the system. There is a lot of upside on this list, but also a large chance that these guys don't develop like the organization hopes. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #milb #baseball #prospects
The #Cardinals haven't been shy about their off-season plans; they are rebuilding and will listen on almost any player. Here are the names that have popped up in the last week or so. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #baseball #hotstove #rumors
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 Everything here came out over the last 5 days or so; older rumors are so out of date or over-reported that I'm not going to include them.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
With a little under a week until the MLB trade deadline (7/31, 5p CST), many are still wondering if the #Cardinals are going to be buyers or sellers. #sltcards #forthelou #mlb #baseball #tradedeadline
The #Cardinals return home to #BuschStadium for a 7 game homestand starting with a 4-game weekend series w/ the #Padres (July 24-27) & concluding w/ 3 games versus the #Marlins (July 28-30). #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #baseball
The Cardinals had a really good 2 weeks, going 10-3, sweeping 2 series, and seeing improvements from hitting and pitching.
