Topics include: The slow erosion since 2015 — and whether the Goldschmidt/Pujols years just masked the problem How much blame falls on ownership’s focus outside baseball Chaim Bloom’s timeline for showing results Oli Marmol’s uncertain future Roster direction and the lessons of holding on too long The meaning (and limits) of “The Cardinal Way” in 2025 and beyond It’s an honest, unfiltered look at where the franchise stands — and whether the next decade can bring the Cardinals back to their standard of sustained success.
