Assessing the rookies so far into the season. Why are they struggling so much? Roman Anthony's average better start rising soon! Jones has been defending the Breslow track record. He is no Chaim Bloom... maybe. Is he a great GM? No. John Henry keeps getting in the way. Bad move or good move with Craig Breslow's tenure in Boston. Brutally honest review. Is he a bumbling buffoon? As much as Jones has supported Breslow's moves, he has a tougher time supporting his front office hiring strategies. The AI interviews are extreme. How many AI bots are there? He tried to defend himself, but he fell on his face again. Does Breslow count as one of the AI bots? Is this a Henry issue too? A lot to think about here. Trade rumors shut down by Henry. Luis Castillo to Boston fell flat because of taxes? Would've been Casas and Yoshida for him.

The St. Louis Cardinals have done absolutely nothing this offseason. There's just no way around it. But, POBO John Mozeliak says the reason for this is to set Chaim Bloom up with a clean state come 2026 and beyond. But, with Arenado, Matz, Fedde, Helsley, and other veterans still on the roster, will the youth movement really work? Is Bloom being set up for failure?

Geoff Pontes and JJ Cooper take an in-depth look at the Cardinals farm system, what it's produced lately, where it's going and some of the prospects to watch.

Bernie Miklasz joins Tom Ackerman to discuss the Cardinals' evolving clubhouse leadership, with veterans like Willson Contreras and Sonny Gray stepping up to support younger players. They also explore the team's $25 million investment in player development and the critical task of rebuilding the farm system. The discussion includes the upcoming front office transition with Chaim Bloom and his team taking over next year and the pressure on manager Oli Marmol during this pivotal time.
"Empty seats are empty seats; no-shows are no-shows," says St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon. "When you’re just accepting reduced attendance and you’re pointing to that for reduced payroll, now you’re setting yourself up for a spiral." Yet to spend a cent this offseason on a major-league free agent, the Cardinals are banking big on breakthrough seasons from their young players and betting there will be buy-in -- literally -- from fans. The payoff could be sparking interest and ticket sales from fans interested in a new direction, but the risk is significant as the Cardinals could spin into a financial whirlpool that leads to more severe cuts or a complete overhaul once new leadership is in place. In a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball, host Derrick Goold is joined by Gordon to discuss what the Cardinals' actions tell us about their situation and their motives. The Cardinals went 3-for-6 on finalizing deals with arbitration-eligible players, leaving salaries for Lars Nootbaar, Brendan Donovan, and Andre Pallante undetermined for the coming season. They could go to hearings unless there is traction for a multi-year extension. But what does it say if the Cardinals don't pursue any of those? What if this spring is the first spring in awhile without an extension? Could that all be a setup to give Chaim Bloom maximum payroll flexibility when he takes over as president of baseball operations and move on from this roster and even its "next core" players to a deeper rebuild?

A revealing moment for the Cardinals and all who evaluate or rank their prospects came in the first round of the 2021 MLB Draft. With the 18th pick, the Cardinals went straight back to their sweet spot and chose Michael McGreevy, a right-handed pitcher out of UC-Santa Barbara and straight from central casting. He fit the profile of the pitcher the Cardinals had taken many times before. McGreevy has elbowed his way into the Cardinals' plans for their starting rotation less than four years later. All around the pick, the game and how rivals evaluated pitching was changing. That's the description Baseball America prospects writer Geoff Pontes provides in a brand new episode of the Best Podcast in Baseball with host and Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold. Pontes is fresh off ranking the Cardinals' top 10 prospects for the industry's leading prospect magazine, and he joins the podcast hours after finishing the organization's top 30 prospects for Baseball America's Handbook. That indispensable rite of spring training is more of a guidebook this season for Cardinals' fans as it will show them where the Cardinals begin this reinvestment in player development -- and how far they have to go. Pontes discusses how chose between 2024 first-round pick JJ Wetherholt and 2024 BA Pitcher of the Year Quinn Mathews for the Cardinals' No. 1 prospect. He provides insight on two names to know, rising electric talent Yairo Padilla, a shortstop and one of the youngest players at his or any level, and catcher/slugger Rainiel Rodriguez, who had 10 home runs and a 1.145 OPS in 41 games this past summer for the Cardinals' academy team in the Dominican Republic. Pontes describes how the Cardinals fell behind on pitching development while staying ahead of other teams with how they approached hitters. The Cardinals have produced a steady stream of contributing hitters, either for them or other teams, but the podcast explores how they've been unable to launch one thing: a tent-pole hitter for the lineup. Within Pontes' top 10 from the Cardinals system, there are four hitters in the top eight, and could one of them (Wetherholt, Chase Davis) be that talent? Pontes offers his sleeper prospect within the organization and what Cardinals are likely to be top 100 talents in all of the minors, with Wetherholt likely headed for the top 30. Located in Massachusetts, Pontes saw how Chaim Bloom revived Boston's pitching pipeline, even if he's no longer there to benefit from it, and details how the Cardinals are ahead of the Red Sox and could see the same improvement under Bloom's leadership. Pontes gives details on where the Cardinals can improve, and toward the end of the podcast the conversation arrives at the crux of the Cardinals' "reset": How they got there. What was the tell in the 2021 draft. How they up to pace, and how fast. Two pitchers might offer early indications of the direction the Cardinals are headed and the improvements afoot: right-hander Tekoah Roby and lefty Cooper Hjerpe. They rank Nos. 6 and 7, respectively, in Pontes' top 10 for the Cardinals system. Both have upside, and Pontes is bullish on one of them -- especially as the Cardinals modernize their approach to pitching around him.

Chaim Bloom and the St. Louis Cardinals bring in a few key front office members including a new farm director. What moves should they make at the Winter Meetings? Trade everyone? With other mid-tier starting pitchers signing lucrative deals, is it the perfect time to capitalize on Erick Fedde's sky high value? Ryan Helsley? Steven Matz, too?

During the past two decades in Major League Baseball, only the Houston Astros have won pennants and appeared in more World Series than the Cardinals and Boston. Two of baseball's most accomplished and celebrated franchises have won four pennants each and faced each other twice in the World Series, both of them won by the BoSox. The ties that bind go beyond shared Octobers these days as both clubs, perennial contenders for most of baseball's current era, are trying to find their footing and return to their postseason expectations. Rob Bradford captured the connection in a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball. "Both franchises are starving to find the certainty," he said. Bradford, the host of the wildly popular podcast Baseball Isn't Boring, joins the next-best baseball podcast to discuss the shared traits of the Cardinals and Red Sox — and the one link that is about to define the Cardinals future. Bradford, the Red Sox reporter at WEEI in Boston, covered Chaim Bloom's tenure atop Boston's baseball operations, and Bradford talks through how the pressures and decisions on Bloom look different in hindsight. With Best Podcast in Baseball host and baseball writer Derrick Goold, Bradford discusses how Bloom's time at Fenway Park gives a glimpse into how he'll do when he takes over baseball ops at Busch Stadium a year from now. Bradford, who co-authored a book with former Cardinals pitcher Joe Kelly, also discusses the origin of their movement and his enthusiastic and entertaining podcast, Baseball Isn't Boring. Which it isn't. And this lively conversation about it aims to show why, right down to a tattoo promise Bradford and Kelly made that has now come due. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and baseball writer Derrick Goold.
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Sammy proposes a Who Says No to Gordo that involves making a call to old chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom in St. Louis.

Is this a good move for both sides and how much of a risk would this move be for the Sox? Also, the look at the middle infield and the surplus Boston has with those in the majors and others awaiting for the call.

In more MLB news from Friday, the Cardinals have claimed right-handed pitcher Roddery Munoz off waivers from the Marlins, which could be the first of many moves this off-season that see the Cardinals target unproven talents in low-risk acquisitions. Is this the type of move that makes sense for the Cardinals are they look usher in a new era under Chaim Bloom? Without overreacting to what is decidedly an under-the-radar play, Munoz has the type of characteristics that the Cardinals should be targeting over the winter as they shift from reliance on highly-paid, known commodities toward giving opportunities to younger players in 2025.

Ben and Carlos hop on the show and talk about new leadership moves for both the Giants and the Cardinals organizations. Ben wonders if Giants fans should be wary about Buster Posey taking charge in San Francisco given lack of extensive front office experience and the two also discuss the changes that could be coming for the Cardinals in the future with Chaim Bloom set to become president of baseball operations in 2026. Where do both orgs stand with their current farm systems? How has each team drafted and done on the international signing market in recent years? After that the two talk about Quinn Mathews and his development as a pitcher, compare him with some of the best lefthanded pitching prospects in the game, including Marlins southpaw Thomas White, and move onto a conversation about Paul Skenes and the state of the Pirates. Was anyone particularly close to Skenes in our Rookie of the Year race? And what about those Yoshinobu Yamamoto debates before the 2024 season got started? The two then talk about the draft lottery odds being set, praise the new system that no longer incentivizes tanking and get into a trio of listener questions including: the biggest adjustments from Triple-A to the majors, thoughts on Phillies prospect Eduardo Tait and the rarity of big leaguers who perform better in the majors than the minors.—Time Stamps(2:00) Buster Posey taking charge in San Francisco(11:00) State of the Giants system(21:00) Chaim Bloom as the Pobo in waiting in St. Louis(27:00) State of the Cardinals system(31:00) Cardinals draft history(38:00) Quinn Mathews development(44:00) Thomas White vs. Quinn Mathews(49:00) Paul Skenes 2024 season(58:00) The Pirates system(1:08:00) Pittsburgh's of international players(1:12:00) Draft lottery talk(1:22:00) Listener questions—Do you have a question you want us to answer?

The Cardinal Way has gotten a little stale. Chaim Bloom now represents the succession plan as Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak intends to step down after the 2025 season. How did the Cardinals lose their edge? And what will this mean for their long-running rivalry with the Cubs? Derrick Goold, an expert beat writer with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, answers those questions and more in a wide-ranging conversation with Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Everyone agrees that the expectations in Chicago and St. Louis should be much higher than trying to win baseball's mid-major division.Support NST! Please leave this podcast page a rating and review.
