The St. Louis Cardinals have gotten out to a great start to the 2026 Major League Baseball season. St. Louis is currently second in the National League Central, despite parting ways with several veterans before the campaign started. It appears the team may move on from two more players ahead of this year’s trade deadline. […]

St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom recently played a role in the Myles Garrett trade, serving as a consultant for Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry.
The St. Louis Cardinals and the fans at Busch Stadium welcomed Lars Nootbaar back into action this weekend as he made his season debut. I, personally, was more ready for his return than I expected this offseason, as I simply hoped for a healthy return and a quick trade out of St. Louis. As this […]
We zoomed through the first third of the season and now the St. Louis Cardinals have just 100 games to go in this rebuild season. Unlike most rebuilds, this one has been fun and honestly, maybe we are spoiled by being fans of the Cardinals. That was one of the topics of conversations on Cardinals […]
Forrest Gump once said that life is like a box of chocolates because you never know which kind you’re going to get. The same can be said for Matthew Liberatore this season. Will you get good Libby or bad Libby? Saturday, the Cardinals ended up with both versions, but it would be more late inning […]
The Brewers selected left-hander Drew Rom ahead of Saturday’s matchup against the Rockies. Fellow lefty Brian Fitzpatrick was placed on the 15-day IL with an elbow injury. Milwaukee had an opening on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was needed. Rom last pitched in the big leagues with the Cardinals in 2023. He struggled […]
It will be a battle of southpaws on the mound at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Saturday afternoon as Nick Lodolo and Matthew Liberatore earn the starts from the Cincinnati Reds and Cardinals, respectively, in Game Two of this three-game weekend series between the National League Central rivals. For Lodolo, the hope is that […]
Chaim Bloom and the Cardinals front office have spent the last year feverishly adding as much pitching talent to the farm system as possible. As ORSTLcardsfan noted in his article yesterday, this has been a “re-stock the pitching pipeline” year. I think most of us were happy with the pitchers and types of pitchers brought […]
Kyle Leahy’s finish was better than his start and the St. Louis Cardinals bats were more than enough to overcome the Cincinnati Reds Friday night at Busch Stadium with an honorable mention going to the Reds bullpen for a big assist during the latter half of the game. Trying to explain what happened in both […]
After a much-needed day off, the St. Louis Cardinals open another home series Friday night versus the Cincinnati Reds. Kyle Leahy will make the start for the Cardinals while the Reds are scheduled to send Brady Singer to the mound. First pitch scheduled for 7:15pm central time at Busch Stadium. Broadcast being handled by Cardinals.tv. […]
The St. Louis Cardinals are set to play the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. Rookie JJ Wetherholt has played a crucial role in the Cardinals’ success this season. Despite being in a rebuild, the Cardinals have upset expectations. Wetherholt, however, is not playing on Friday due to a groin injury. There’s a chance he may not […]

June 5th: Nootbaar has been officially reinstated, with Saggese optioned out as the corresponding move. June 3rd: The Cardinals will activate Lars Nootbaar from the 60-day injured list for Friday’s series opener against the Reds, manager Oli Marmol told reporters (including Jeff Jones of The Belleville News-Democrat).

The Cincinnati Reds should be fresh following their off-day on Thursday, but they’re also ‘fresh’ off losing 4 of 6 at home during their most recent homestand against the Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, respectively. Now, the Reds are in St. Louis and ready to face a Cardinals club that they saw briefly two […]
Romanov spent the entirety of the 2025-26 season with the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds.
It's hard to take either of these NL Central rivals seriously as true contenders.
The St. Louis Cardinals have upset expectations amid their rebuild this season. Former Cardinals superstar Albert Pujols has been paying attention to his former ball club’s performance. Pujols recently commented on the Cardinals’ play this season, via Tamar Sher. “When the Cardinals have a good team, it’s different. It’s a different energy coming into the […]

Whether you consider the Cardinals as rebuilding, retooling, resetting, competing, whichever word you like, the 2025 off-season was certainly a noticeable transition. One could even look at the 2025 draft as the kick-start to a process that looks an awful like how I’d imagine a rebuild. One that, in my view, in not nearly complete. […]
We now know that the St. Louis Cardinals will finally have Lars Nootbaar back in the Major League lineup as he’s being activated for the homestand versus the Cincinnati Reds starting Friday night. There’s been a lot of discussion about what that will mean for the roster moving forward, but I’d like to focus on […]

The St. Louis Cardinals have upset expectations so far during the 2026 season. They are also expected to receive a boost, as outfielder Lars Nootbaar will return from injury soon. Nootbaar has one year of team control remaining on his contract. However, he could reportedly be a trade candidate. Jeff Passan of ESPN recently published […]

The San Jose Sharks added Nick Leddy to the roster on July 3 when the team claimed the defenseman off waivers. The St. Louis Blues needed to clear cap space, so the Blues waived the defenseman rather than buy him out. Sharks General Manager Mike Grier needed to add to the Sharks’ blueline, and Leddy was an easy addition given that he could play on the right side and he wasn’t going to cost the team anything in terms of prospects or draft picks. After an off-the-record discussion with the veter...

On March 20, 1993, Octavio Dotel signed as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic at 19-years-old. Nearly a decade later, Mark Teahan was selected with the 39th pick of the MLB draft by the Oakland Athletics in 2002. On July 2nd, 2005, Abraham Almonte had recently turned 16 and signed with the […]
