Masyn Winn is near the bottom of the league when it comes to challenging pitches with ABS, but the shortstop is keeping the reviews available for the rest of the St. Louis Cardinals lineup.
The St. Louis Cardinals have one of MLB’s hottest hitting prospects–and his name is Joshua Baez. Sooner or later, the 22-year-old is going to earn his shot at the big league level. This season, Baez is slashing a ridiculous .272/.342/.615. His OPS of .957 stems mostly from a prolific power tool. At over three years younger than the […] The post The St. Louis Cardinals May Have MLB’s Most Exciting Prospect appeared first on HEAVY .

Kansas City Royals first baseman Jac Caglianone had quite a Saturday, as his performance in the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals put him in the same exclusive company with Philadelphia Phillies star slugger Kyle Schwarber and others.

The Cardinals jumped the Royals for 5 runs in the top of the first inning and held on to defeat the Royals 12-10 in a Father’s Day matinee, salvaging the series and avoiding the sweep. Stephen Kolek has been dynamite for the Royals in his tenure, but he simply didn’t have it today. Three pitches […]
The St. Louis Cardinals saw a performance for the ages on Sunday, from rookie JJ Wetherholt. Wetherholt hit two home runs as St. Louis went on to defeat the Kansas City Royals, 12-10. His epic performance puts him in some elite company. “JJ Wetherholt recorded his second career multi-HR game today against the Royals. He’s […] The post JJ Wetherholt’s multi-HR Father’s Day puts him in Albert Pujols company appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Dustin May was not in his finest form Sunday, but it didn’t matter as JJ Wetherholt, Iván Herrera and the St. Louis Cardinals offense absolutely unloaded on the Kansas City Royals Sunday afternoon eventually winning a slugfest. The St. Louis Cardinals bullpen would be worn out by the end of it, though. It only took […]
The St. Louis Cardinals have seen some dazzling performances already this season from young slugger JJ Wetherholt. Wetherholt continued to impress on Sunday, when he homered in two consecutive innings for St. Louis. Those homers came in the first two innings of a game against the Kansas City Royals.

As the 2026 MLB trade deadline nears, St. Louis Cardinals fans want a quick fix. Here is why Chaim Bloom must stay the course and not make any additions that will hurt their long-term future. Instead, he must still sell.
After a tumultuous past three seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals enter 2026 with a clean slate throughout the organization. The franchise has seen many promising young stars take leaps forward throughout their farm system this season; now that we have a decent sample size, let’s take a look at who is shining above the others.

With the massive upgrades to the St. Louis Cardinals facility in Jupiter, Nolan Gorman is working to fix his swing in the cage rather than in live games before returning to action.
The St. Louis Cardinals surpassed expectations for the first third of the season but things have gone back towards that low baseline in recent weeks. With minimal support brought in to help a makeshift starting rotation, it should not be surprise that the holdovers from the previous season have been pretty much as anticipated. Outside […]
St. Louis Cardinals prospect Joshua Baez has stolen headlines with his home run power, but his arm and speed are also very good tools. Baez used his arm on Saturday to nail a runner at home. Baez will make his Major League debut soon.
The St. Louis Cardinals felt like a team with nothing to lose when the 2026 season began, but an unexpectedly strong start has now vaulted them into a time where there suddenly seems to be greater expectations of what they can achieve. How they deal with this will tell us a lot about what kind […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began 2026 in a full-scale rebuild under new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, trading away veterans Sonny Gray, Nolan Arenado and Willson Contreras to restock a depleted farm system. The result is a rotation headlined by Matthew Liberatore, Dustin May, and Michael McGreevy, a functional but uninspiring group that lacks […] The post Cardinals’ perfect trade offer for Mets’ Freddy Peralta appeared first on ClutchPoints .
This week, I am joined by AAA RHP Ryan Murphy and his father, Chuck, for a special Father’s Day episode. So often on this site, we focus solely on the numbers and performance, but we lose sight of the human element to sports, and as we know, Tony La Russa used to famously quote, “Men, […]
The Kansas City Royals produced one of the season’s best defensive plays Friday night, with Tyler Tolbert and Michael Massey right in the middle of it.

The play unfolded with Kansas City holding a slim lead and the […] The post Royals’ Tyler Tolbert, Michael Massey connect for unreal out vs. Cardinals appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Blair Kerkhoff writes that Tyler Tolbert came up big in the Friday win over the Cardinals. “You never know when your name is going to be called,” Tolbert said. “You just have to be ready.” That was the case throughout the game for Tolbert. In the sixth inning, after failing to get down a pair […]
The St. Louis Cardinals seemed destined for a rebuild after an offseason of limited adding to the roster. In fact, anything resembling a veteran player became a topic of trade discussion. Four contributors donned new threads by spring training. Right-handed pitcher Sonny Gray and first baseman Willson Contreras found themselves in Boston. Nolan Arenado, who […] The post Two Veterans Have Surprising St. Louis Cardinals Eyeing October appeared first on Just Baseball .
Sonny Gray was brutally honest in his assessment of the Red Sox, saying they're "not a good team" after accepting a trade out of St. Louis this offseason.
I really don’t know what to think about Andre Pallante. After a bad 2025 season, I was pretty ambivalent about him. Sure he showed some promise in 2024, but even when he is pitching well, he doesn’t get a ton of strikeouts or do anything overly flashy. Yet here we are approaching the midpoint of […]
The St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals will take a one-day break in the middle of their three-game series in deference to the World Cup.
The Royals hit eight doubles in last night’s game to dominate the Cardinals; they added five more tonight en route to another victory. This time, they won 6-5 over their cross-state rivals. Seth Lugo made his return from the 7-day concussion IL tonight, and it didn’t start great. He walked Iván Herrera with one out, […]
