Latest news and updates about the Cardinals
While JJ Wetherholt and Jordan Walker (and even Joshua Baez) stole some of the spotlight, and rightly so, Alec Burleson had a very successful year at the plate, and he made it a lot of fun to watch. Y’see, Alec “Burly” Burleson is not your every day hitter. His Chase percentage was 10th decile. He […]

Cardinals on My Time is back for the winter in a little different capacity!

The St. Louis Cardinals have tons of talent funneling upwards, but if JJ Wetherholt can dial in his approach, a Silver Slugger is not out of the question next season.
After committing to the rebuild that was staring them in the face for a few seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals kicked off the transition with a solid 2026 campaign. By most accounts, the Cardinals outperformed preseason expectations, but many fans still believe that a successful season ends with at least one game in October. That […]
