Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 A big, defining topic for the Cardinals' future and their development of a big, defining hitter needs a jumbo-sized Best Podcast in Baseball. For more than a decade, the Cardinals have had to go shopping for their middle-order hitters -- either by trade (Paul Goldcshmidt, Nolan Arenado, Marcell Ozuna) or, rarely, by free agency (Carlos Beltran, Willson Contreras) -- but during this "reset" year where offense has been a major part of their success, the Cardinals seem closer to having homegrown hitters in the middle of the order to build around. Brendan Donovan, currently hitting No. 3, leads the league in doubles and hits. Candidates to climb up to cleanup include Ivan Herrera. There is the catch. Herrera's bright future as a hitter seems clear. Less so, is where he fits at catcher. Kevin Wheeler, host at KMOX/104.1 FM, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss all of the ramifications of this question: Can the Cardinals develop the middle of the order for a contending team? It's a question thick with implications. With St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold, Wheeler discusses Herrera's fit as a potential cleanup hitter, what it means that the Cardinals have an advancing group of catching talents in the minors, and whether Herrera needs to be flanked by a fellow prospect for the Cardinals to have a strong lineup. The cost of surefire middle-order hitters is only going up, and increasingly all teams need both lightning and thunder to come from within the house. This BPIB discusses whether the Cardinals need to have Jordan Walker and/or Nolan Gorman join the middle of the order for their development summer to be a success, and where Alec Buleson, JJ Wetherholt, Lars Nootbaar, and Masyn Winn best fit into the lineup of the future. The Cardinals, with 10 different players who have at least 15 RBIs, are cranking out the hits this season and they've won 18 of their past 23 because of the depth of their lineup. Is that what the future holds as well -- not one or two hitters that are the fulcrum of the lineup but a depth that goes all the way to the speed at the bottom? The answer could be the key whether the Cardinals contend in the years they're looking toward as well. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a weekly production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals win on Saturday over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Busch Stadium.Matthew Liberatore has been remarkable and was again on Saturday. But some defensive mishaps caused a solid lead to disappear as Jordan Walker and Brendan Donovan had some unfortunate moments in the field.But for Jordan Walker to be the reason the Cardinals brought it back with his clutch swing to regain the lead, that's pure serendipity. Ryan Helsley on a back-to-back is often a little nerve-wracking but great defense by Nolan Arenado and Alec Burleson in the ninth helped guide Helsley to a key... win? Why not a save?

Tom Ackerman talks to Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak about the recent devastating storm that struck St. Louis, the chaos and damage it caused, and how the Cardinals organization is stepping up by supporting Red Cross relief efforts.

He highlights standout performances from Wilson Contreras, Victor Scott, Kyle Leahy, and Brendan Donovan. Mozeliak also shares the organization's strategic focus on youth development, competitiveness in the division, and their hopes to be buyers by the trade deadline.

Brenden Schaeffer hosted a live episode of B-Schaeff Daily during the St. Louis Cardinals off-night on Thursday and ended up tackling a lot of long-view type of topics in a Q&A with Cards fans.What will the Cardinals do at the trade deadline if they are winning and contending? What if they aren't? What if they're in the middle? And how much influence would Chaim Bloom have over that deadline, or is it all John Mozeliak?Would Nolan Arenado still want out at the deadline?The Cardinals wouldn't trade guys like Brendan Donovan and Lars Nootbaar, right? What about Walker and Gorman?Will Oli Marmol be the manager next year?So many topics handled in this hour-long podcast. Follow this podcast feed for DAILY Cardinals coverage all year round!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a painful loss for the St. Louis Cardinals as Francisco Lindor and the Mets walked it off on Friday night at Citi Field.That's the seventh road loss of the year for the Cards in only eight games, and it was a frustrating one considering they got a few timely hits (including a clutch home run by Brendan Donovan in the top of the ninth) and decent enough starting pitching from Miles Mikolas.Frankly, it was the bullpen slowly revealing some cracks that ultimately came back to haunt the Redbirds in this one.Plus, JJ Wetherholt leaves early with an injury in Springfield.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage daily, all season long!

In this episode, Tom Ackerman sits down with John Mozeliak to discuss the finalized roster decisions for the 2025 season. They delve into the outfield configuration featuring Victor Scott II in center field, Jordan Walker in right, and Lars Nootbaar in left. The conversation also covers the versatility of players like Brendan Donovan and Nolan Gorman, the inclusion of Luken Baker as a power bat off the bench, and the potential expansion to a six-man pitching rotation with Matthew Liberatore. Mozeliak shares his perspective on Scott's development, noting his significant improvement and purposeful offseason. Additionally, they touch upon bullpen management strategies and the team's readiness for Opening Day on March 27 in St. Louis.

JUPITER, Fla. -- Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado created buzz within the Yankees' social media greenhouse for driving to visit a couple of close friends and, oh, playing six or so innings in an exhibition baseball game. That is where the discussion begins in a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball featuring host and baseball writer Derrick Goold along with Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon. The downstream impact of Arenado remaining in Cardinals camp and starting at third base for the Cardinals is a major factor in their spring training, but it doesn't disrupt the priority playing time as much as it might seem. Nolan Gorman will still be able to receive ample at-bats, just at a new position. Brendan Donovan won't be budged from the lineup, just to the outfield. And so on, all the way to center field,. That is where this podcast goes. Looking at center field, the big-league bench, the rotation, and the bullpen, Gordon and Goold explore the decisions the Cardinals must make with young players that will reveal how committed they are to the future -- and how the now still shapes their choices. The players discussed include Michael McGreevy, Zack Thompson, Matthew Liberatore, Michael Siani, Thomas Saggese, and center fielder Victor Scott II, who is off to a blazing start to spring training. Gordon joins the podcast from St. Louis, while Goold is in Jupiter covering spring training for the Post-Dispatch's constant Cardinals coverage. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is in its 13th season. It is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
