Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) wind up doing a deep discussion on just two topics this week: the lack of spring training games and the signing of Oli Marmol to a two-year extension.  Why can't games get televised in some form or fashion?  Was the extension a good idea and why or why not?  What does success look like in 2026?  Settle in for a topical chat!

In this segment, Mark is joined by KSDK Sports Director Frank Cusumano. Cusumano discusses the Cardinals giving Manager Oliver Marmol a contract extension, the local college basketball team's big games over the weekend, the Blues solid start to the resumption of the NHL season and more.

The St. Louis Cardinals have extended manager Oli Marmol with a two year contract and a club option for 2029. What do we think of this deal, and does it make sense to sign Oli to an extension right before his walk year? Was it too soon or a right move to stabilize leadership for a young core?

Bernie Miklasz breaks down Oli Marmol's contract extension through 2028, why Chaim Bloom chose continuity over a splash hire, and what true front office alignment means during the Cardinals' first real rebuild in more than 30 years. Plus, context on fan perception, comparisons to Tony La Russa, and what Marmol must prove in the years ahead.

Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom explains the two-year extension for Oli Marmol with a 2029 club option, detailing why continuity and alignment were critical during a franchise reset.

He also evaluates top prospect JJ Wetherholt's spring progress and shares early impressions of a competitive pitching staff as tough rotation decisions loom.

Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom then explains why he believes in Marmol, the importance of organizational alignment, the club's reset with a young core, JJ Wetherholt's development, and early impressions of the pitching staff as spring battles continue.

Live from Jupiter, the Cardinals extend Oli Marmol through 2028 with a 2029 club option, reinforcing alignment between Bill DeWitt Jr., Chaim Bloom, and the manager during a pivotal franchise reset.

Host of KMOX's Sports Open Line and Cardinals pre/post game host Matt Pauley talks the first official workout for pitchers and catchers, what JJ Wetherholt has to do to make the team out of spring and more.

Oli Marmol was asked by STL Sports Central's Mike Claiborne Wednesday about which area of the Cardinals roster he is most looking forward to seeing play out and establish itself this spring.Though he listed a number of names, there was a clear aspect of the club that he's eager to see get to work. And frankly, he's right: this aspect of the roster will be most critical to whatever success St. Louis could enjoy in the summer of 2026.

The Cardinals' winter of accumulation climaxed with the trade many months in the making: They moved All-Star utility fielder Brendan Donovan in a three-team trade to Seattle and received a windfall that included two of the Mariners' top-10 prospects and two draft picks, one each from the Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays. So, it's time to take stock. What did all of this subtraction actually add to the Cardinals? Back from a brief winter vacation, the Best Podcast in Baseball returns to discuss exactly that. Post-Dispatch editor Nathan Mills joins BPIB host and baseball writer Derrick Goold to explore the ramifications of the Donovan deal and much more on the eve of spring training. The podcast also explores whether the Cardinals should prioritize a contract extension for manager Oli Marmol, what the bigger benefit is for the two draft picks acquired, and what to take from the Cardinals' rise to No. 2 in Baseball America's farm rankings. It wasn't just prospects the Cardinals added this winter. They've got a bigger scouting apparatus -- they call it an acquisitions department -- and they're going to see how big and how soon that pays off.  More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. From the start of the offseason and the beginning for a new front officer leader, the Cardinals have signaled their priority this winter is to accumulate talent that will help them contend in the future. They began that process by trading Sonny Gray and $20 million to the Boston Red Sox for a pair of pitching prospects, Richard Fitts and Brandon Clarke, and now the Cardinals' pursuit continues with the arrival of MLB's biggest gathering of the Hot Stove season. The Winter Meetings are coming. To discuss the Cardinals' to-do list for the Winter Meetings, KMOX/104.1 FM's Kevin Wheeler rejoins the Best Podcast in Baseball. He and BPIB host Derrick Goold discuss the Cardinals' search to trade Nolan Arenado and what happens if another winter passes without a deal; which of the players nearing free agency, such as Brendan Donovan and JoJo Romero, will help the Cardinals achieve their goal of accumulating young talent; and what does a contract extension look like for manager Oli Marmol. The significant National Baseball Hall of Fame vote set for Dec. 7 is also discussed. This is the first of two episodes because what started as a short conversation spilled into a heated debate about, oh, just the future economic structure of baseball. Look for that bonus BPIB shortly.

The Winter Meetings are here, and the Cardinals might actually be ready to move Willson Contreras — with reports he's now open to waiving his no-trade for the right fit. We dig into what that means, what happens with Donnie, Lars, and Nado, plus the Cardinals landing the No. 4 Comp Balance A pick and early extension talks with Oli Marmol. Then we break down Ryan Helsley's big deal with Baltimore, Jordan Walker's “earn it” spring ahead, and the wild news that the Cardinals will be revenue-sharing recipients for the first time in decades. And around the league: Devin Williams gets paid, Alek Manoah finds a new home, and the Blue Jays hand out another big contract.Have a question or comment for the show?

This week, Pete joined Ron and the Gateway Sports crew for a no-spin, big-picture look at the Cardinals’ decline — and what it’ll take to fix it. Not just 2025, but the multi-year slide of what was once one of baseball’s model franchises. From ownership priorities to player development to the culture around the team, this isn’t your typical postmortem — it’s a candid, long-form conversation about how the Cardinals got here and what it’s going to take to climb back. Derek King, Rodney Knuppel, and Don Glenn, each bring their own sharp takes and deep frustrations to the table. 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.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down an oft-discussed topic of the past couple years, which is Yadier Molina potentially joining the Cardinals in a formal capacity.While the last time we heard about this, it did not ultimately materialize as expected, could Yadi's guest coaching stints in 2025 point toward his readiness to commit to a more significant role with the club in 2026?And how would Yadi serving on Oli Marmol's coaching staff potentially set the stage for his future foray into managing an MLB team down the road?

John Mozeliak officially says goodbye, Chaim Bloom steps in as Cardinals president of baseball ops, and Oli Marmol will return in 2026. Willson Contreras wants to stay in St. Louis, while Sonny Gray and Nolan Arenado are open to waiving their no-trade clauses—potentially clearing over $86 million from the payroll. We dig into what that means for the roster, the offseason, and the team's future direction. Plus, playoff chatter and a wild week of league news as the Mets collapse, multiple managers are out, and MLB viewership climbs.Have a question or comment for the show?
