ST. LOUIS - Tis the season for excessive social media scrolling, baseball fans. The clock is winding down on the MLB trade deadline. It's that time of the year when the St. Louis Cardinals usually find themselves busy making moves, though the chances of pulling off a blockbuster vary each season. Occasionally, the Cardinals will pull the trigger…

Back in February of 2021, I thought it would be a fun idea to project what the Cardinals lineup would look like in four years, 2025. How much has changed in two years? Well, back then, I remained in denial about the designated hitter so I didn't even predict a 2025 DH. And while the players themselves are perhaps still possible, I'd already make…

First of all, you don't have to tell me twice... I'm very aware that the St. Louis Cardinals are risk-averse, trade-averse, "make a big splash"-averse, and generally fun-averse at the MLB trade deadline.

SAN DIEGO - Well, so much for all of those dots that got connected when social media started buzzing due to a video that showed Cody Bellinger working on his swing at Oklahoma State, the offseason home base of Matt Holliday. Could the Cardinals Hall of Famer turned Cardinals bench coach have been working with a former National League MVP turned…

For all of the frustration fans have had with the St. Louis Cardinals early playoff exits in the last two years, the pure excitement that just one draft class could bring to this organization may completely flip the narrative. Assistant GM and scouting director Randy Flores received a multi-year extension from the Cardinals this last week, and it's…

The St. Louis Cardinals will try to build off a thrilling victory when then they host the Washington Nationals at 1:15 p.m. ET Thursday at Busch Stadium in the finale of a four-game series. The Cardinals (81-55, 47-22 home) rallied with five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Nationals 6-5 on Wednesday night for their ninth win in…
