Latest blog entries from St. Louis teams across every league
There’s a sense that the St. Louis Cardinals have a special player in JJ Wetherholt. There’s no debating his talent, but can anyone possibly live up to the hype that is building around him? I found an all-star comp that provides an encouraging look at what the Cardinals can expect. When the St. Louis Cardinals […]
For those who went into this Islanders transitional season with low or at least cautiously tempered expectations, the last eight games have been startling, confusing and pretty damn fun. I say eight games, because the 6-1 road trip, which started with some “not great but pulled it off” wins and steamrolled into some “that was […]
The St. Louis Cardinals non-tendered 4 players today including pitcher John King and catcher Yohel Pozo reducing their 40-player roster to 37. John King ended 2025 with a 2-1 record, a 4.66 ERA over just over 48 games appearing in 51 games with a 1.63 WHIP. Yohel Pozo had a .231 batting average for the […]
For the first time in four days, since the close of their back-to-back last weekend on the road, the Flyers were back in action last night, looking to pull off a sweep of the season series with the Blues and quickly begin to gain back some of the ground that they lost in the standings while they were sitting with their long layoff. It was going to be a bit of an uphill battle — four days, even with practice time mixed in, is a lot of days to be off collectively — but the Flyers responded prett...
*Oh wow, the Flyers went to overtime against the Blues last night. That’s wild. Who could have predicted? Anyway who cares, they won! Recap ! *Last night’s game was Hockey Fights Cancer night at the XBox and the Flyers organization made it a really special night for several fans and one much-loved member of the Flyers family. [ Inquirer ] *As was hinted at by the lines at practice earlier this week, Rick Tocchet did a little line mixing last night. And if we’re going to be changing t...
You’ll never believe it, but Thursday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, the Philadelphia Flyers had yet another game go to overtime. They’ve struggled in overtime as of late, but thanks to a clutch play from their No. 1 defenseman, the Flyers pulled off a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues in dramatic fashion. The Basics First period: 5:31 — Justin Faulk (Oskar Sundqvist, Nathan Walker), 12:08 — Faulk (Jake Neighbours, Jordan Kyrou) Second period: 17:57 — Rodrigo Abols (Owen Tippett...
The Red Sox signed free agent right-hander Osvaldo Berrios to a minor league contract on Monday, as was first reported by Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. It is unclear if the deal includes an invitation to major league spring training. Berrios, who turns 26 later this month, has yet to make his big league debut and … Continue reading "Red Sox sign former Athletics, Cardinals farmhand Osvaldo Berrios to minor league deal"
Folks, we are finally back in action. We last saw the Flyers what feels like ages ago, but was actually just on Saturday, when they closed out their back-to-back on the road with a loss to the Stars. It was a tough one, especially coming on the heels of a pretty good win the night before over the Blues (those same Blues who are in town tonight and will be looking to find a bit of revenge and avoid being swept in the season series). It’s been a long layoff for the Flyers, but the hope is that t...
The St. Louis Blues continue to be one of the teams to watch on the early-season trade market. A very slow start has left GM Doug Armstrong with an itchy trigger finger, and he's likely to start making some moves to snap his team out of their doldrums. One of the names that has drawn plenty of attention is speedy, scoring forward Jordan Kyrou. He's at No. 20 on the latest Trade Board from The Athletic, one of three Blues on the list. With five more years after this one on his contr...

The Cardinals sent an interesting contingent to this year’s edition of the Arizona Fall League (AFL). That short season has wrapped up and we will look at how the individual Cardinal representatives performed. Some time ago, the AFL was viewed as a finishing school for top prospects. That appears to be evolving. Now it seems […]
The Flyers managed to steal a victory from the jaws of defeat Friday night against the host Blues, never leading in the game until Trevor Zegras put one home in the shootout for a rollercoaster 6-5 shootout win. The basics First period: 1:19- Jordan Kyrou (Unassisted), 8:18- Trevor Zegras (Christian Dvorak, Travis Sanheim), 9:42- Jimmy Snuggerud (Robert Thomas) Second period: 6:54- Justin Faulk (Cam Fowler, Oskar Sundvist), 7:17- Christian Dvorak (Owen Tippett, Emil Andrae), 18:24- T...
After a tough loss back on home ice on Wednesday, the Flyers are hitting the road for a quick two-game road trip. Tonight, they’ll be facing off against a struggling Blues squad for the first game of their back-to-back (and what’s to be their first against the Blues in the span of a week) and they’ll be looking to get the ball rolling early, gaining back some ground and, what’s more, making a strong impression on their annual Fathers’ Trip. Puck drop: 8:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NB...
Ryan Helsley’s future is unclear. After being traded mid-season by the St. Louis Cardinals to the New York Mets, Helsley is now a free agent and he believes the St. Louis Cardinals will contact him. The questions are will they and should they? Context and tone are everything when it comes to quotes from players. […]
Last week, I wrote about how Cardinals legend Albert Pujols was brought up in the Eric Kay trial. An ex-Angels club employee allegedly had videos of Pujols making Kay do dares such as being hit on the knee with a 90-mph fastball. The former employee also testified that Pujols was paying kay to do the […]
Braves History 1957 – Milwaukee Braves outfielder Hank Aaron is named National League Most Valuable Player with 239 votes. Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals is a close second with 230, and his teammate Red Schoendienst finishes third with 221. 2001 – Larry Bowa, with an 86-76 record, is named the National League Manager […]
The St. Louis Blues are not a good team this season and it is going to take quite a bit to turn things around so that the GM doesn't start to have to make significant changes. The Blues are stuck in the middle while having too many tradeable veterans in places where the youth can step in and step up to take over once they're gone. It makes sense for a retool because this isn't a team likely to rebuild at this stage. The Blues are in talks with teams, as it would be odd if GMs don't call and se...

We’re barely two weeks into the off-season, but the St. Louis Cardinals are already coming up in several trade rumors involving Brendan Donovan and the expected market for future Hall of Famer, Nolan Arenado. Here’s what we know so far along with other rumblings from around baseball: Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch shared […]
Most, if not all, of the players I’ve put in this series to date are guys the Cubs likely will not sign — too much money, too many years, or both. Here’s a pitcher who seems more up Jed Hoyer’s alley at the present time. Zac Gallen was originally drafted by the Cardinals (third round, […]
Recently, Jeff Jones of the Belleville-News Democrat was on the Dealin’ the Cards podcast. And he said he would not be shocked if the Cardinals end up with a bigger name starter than you’d expect in free agency. But he also said after that it would because that person’s market did not materialize, using Framber […]
Brayden Schenn trade chatter is beginning to pick up, and insider Frank Seravalli believes the St. Louis Blues captain would be the first player out the door if management starts selling. He’s not pointing to Jordan Kyrou as the initial move. It’s Schenn’s contract structure and the scarcity of proven centers that elevate his market. The 34-year-old carries two more seasons at a 6.5 million cap hit and now has a 15-team no-trade list, which widens the field compared to a full shiel...
I fully expect to be called a hypocrite for saying this since my radio career also requires speaking, but sometimes we talk too much and I’m including the St. Louis Cardinals leadership over the past several seasons. I have the deep conviction that less is more when it comes to how much we divulge about […]
being born in 1975, I am quite used to RBI, batting average, home runs, and of course, the stolen base since I lived through the 80’s as a child. Being a fan of the stolen base as a Cardinals fan in the 1980’s goes without question. But it became less and less important and even […]
I’m sure you’ve heard it said that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. In this instance, I hope that’s correct. If you’d like some hope that the St. Louis Cardinals can complete a fast rebuild, I’d recommend a look back at the 1995 Cardinal team and how it quickly […]
