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. While John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt have made some big off-season moves (hello Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado), they're typically conservative…

This article is inspired by all the mock trades I'm seeing for Bryan Reynolds and all the talk around needing a fourth outfielder. I'm here to tell you that those things can be fun to talk about but they aren't realistic. The St. Louis Cardinals are not going to make a move for another outfielder. They simply are not. It wouldn't make sense for…

We've got two rounds of mailbags coming your way this week. Consider these to be early holiday gifts. Sorry. No refunds, though. Much like that box of Almond Roca you're bound to get, you're stuck with me. A lot to tackle this week in terms of your questions, including everyone's favorite topic: The Mariners and the free-agent market. We talk about…

Jordan Walker is no. 8 on our Top 100 thanks largely to his bat. As our lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen wrote in July, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect "is one of the most exciting young hitters in the minors, with elite power potential and superlative on-paper performance at Double-A while he's still not old…

It's not every day that arguably the best young player in Major League Baseball becomes available via trade, but Washington Nationals superstar Juan Soto fits the bill. The term "Herschel Walker-type deal" has been thrown around regarding Soto's asking price from Washington, and at 23-years old and under team control until 2025, it's actually quite…

The UAB Blazers (6-1) will look to continue a five-game winning run when hosting the South Alabama Jaguars (3-5) on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at Bartow Arena. This game is at 2:00 PM ET on ESPNU.

Washington Nationals star Juan Soto may get traded in the upcoming days. The team is not under any obligation to deal him, but they have been trying to extend him for months, without much success. Months ago, they made a 13-year, $350 million offer that was rejected by the player and his camp. This weekend, they had another approach rejected: this…

The UAB Blazers (5-1) will try to build on a four-game winning run when they host the Jacksonville Dolphins (3-1) at 7:30 PM ET on Wednesday, November 30, 2022.

Hartpury won their first Championship Cup game of the season, beating Nottingham 33-19. In a group that also contains Ealing and Jersey, Hartpury knew it would be long odds against them progressing and they lost their two opening games and conceded 119 points in the process. Hartpury, with Mitch Eadie and Sam Lewis the stand-out performers in a…

On March 31, 2019, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Elvis Luciano became the first player born in the 2000s to reach the big leagues. In the years since, a wave of talented young players who weren't even born when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were chasing down Roger Maris during the 1998 season has descended on Major League Baseball. 2022 Rookie of…

Depending on how the MLB Draft Lottery goes, who do you believe will be the first three players selected in next year's Draft? -- @StevieDAles97 Stevie D, I feel like you set me up with this question on purpose so that I can give my all-too-familiar lecture on the top of the Draft. Even if it was accidental, I thank you. In a nutshell, here it is:…

It's time for the second (we hope) annual Unofficial Futures Game Batting Practice Home Run Derby Draft (UFGBPHRDD?)! Last year, Jim Callis and I drafted XMSirius All-Star Futures Game players and tracked how many home runs each hit during batting practice, somewhat formalizing what's been an unofficial hobby for years. Maybe someday the Futures…

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…

With just one game left in the season, it's time to finish the minor leagues. The Springfield Cardinals ended their season on the 18th of September, while the Memphis Redbirds ended last Wednesday. And frankly, if I don't do this now, it won't get done until after the playoffs simply because it would be weird to give a minor league update during…

In less than two weeks, the Arizona Fall League begins its 30th season, and if you haven't been able to tell, we're a little excited. We'll be out there covering the league on a daily basis, and as we are leading up to it, we're talking about it as much as humanly possible. That includes an entire episode of the MLB Pipeline Podcast dedicated to…

Just a month ago, we weren't sure where St. Louis Cardinals top prospect Jordan Walker would end up. Many were theorizing that his days in the Cards organization were numbered after trade rumors about Juan Soto began circulating. Ultimately, the Cards didn't go for Soto and held onto Walker, which is looking like the right move so far. Walker…
