Join us as we dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' 2025 MLB Trade Deadline moves! In this episode, we break down the prospects acquired in exchange for relievers Ryan Helsley, Steven Matz, and Phil Maton. The Cardinals built for the future, landing six exciting minor leaguers, including INF Jesus Baez, RHP Nate Dohm, RHP Frank Elissalt, 1B/3B Blaze Jordan, LHP Mason Molina, and RHP Skylar Hales, plus $250K in international bonus pool money.

John Mozeliak joins Tom Ackerman to reflect on an emotional final trade deadline as Cardinals President of Baseball Operations. He discusses parting with key players like Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz, and the return of prospects such as Blaze Jordan and Jesus Baez. Mozeliak opens up about transitioning leadership to Chaim Bloom, the pressure of decision-making, and what he'll miss most. He also addresses declining fan attendance, the future of the franchise, and major renovations in Jupiter.

Bernie Miklasz joins Tom Ackerman to break down the Cardinals' trade deadline, where only three expiring contracts were moved and the Phil Maton deal sparked frustration. He reflects on John Mozeliak's emotional exit and ongoing concerns with fan attendance and stadium access. Miklasz highlights Chaim Bloom's early impact on drafting and development and the need to make room for young talent like Quinn Mathews and Jimmy Crooks.

A full day after the trade deadline passed in which the Cardinals traded pitchers Phil Maton, Steven Matz and Ryan Helsley, Matt Pauley breaks down what's next for the team and what to possibly expect for the remainder of the 2025 season and for 2026 and beyond.

Cory and Eric Phillips discuss the St. Louis Cardinals defeating the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 in an 11-inning thriller on June 21, 2025, at Busch Stadium. The Reds led 5-2 going into the 8th, powered by Elly De La Cruz's two-run homer and Matt McLain's two doubles. However, Nolan Arenado's game-tying homer off Reds closer Emilio Pagan sparked a Cardinals comeback. In the 11th, Yohel Pozo's walk-off single scored Jordan Walker for the win. Cardinals pitchers held the Reds to 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position, while Phil Maton earned the win. The Reds' bullpen struggled late, with Chase Petty taking the loss.   Chatterbox Reds is your home for coverage all season long for the Cincinnati Reds with LIVE post game shows after EVERY game on YouTube, and NEW podcasts the morning after every game (including weekends)!

In this episode of the "Giant Mess" podcast, New York Mets fan Neal Lynch recaps the 2024 regular season that was filled with humor, whimsy, and joy and finished with a sensational September thanks to outstanding pitching efforts from Jose Quintana, Sean Manaea, Luis Severino, David Peterson, Phil Maton, and Tylor Megill. The Amazin's clinched a playoff spot in game 161 against the Atlanta Braves thanks to should-be Captain and MVP Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): One of the most underrated trade deadline acquisitions was a reliever who went from Tampa Bay to the Mets for just cash.

Whose job to keep them healthy Yamamoto moved to 60-day IL, out until at least mid-August Tyler Glasnow Forearm TJ Oblique Back “It's certainly not ideal,” Roberts conceded. “But my job is to keep this thing moving forward.” Drew Smith Tommy John surgery “We're going to need guys to step up,” general manager David Stearns said. “This is not unique to us.” “Our job is to help him,” Mendoza said. “He'll get back on the field. Lance McCullers TJ/ Flexor Tendon surgery shoulder issues The team has “pulled back” on McCullers' rehab progression with what manager Joe Espada described as “soreness in his arm,” intensifying Houston's need for rotation help at the July 30 trade deadline. “He's just not feeling well after his bullpens and his throwing programs,” Espada said on Tuesday. “He's going to be no-throw for a few days until we sit back down and re-evaluate how we're going to move forward.” Ben Joyce ANAHEIM -- Don't blink. You might just miss one of Ben Joyce's fastballs. Joyce has been lighting up radar guns yet again this season, including uncorking a 104.5 mph fastball in a scoreless seventh inning of the Angels' 6-5 win over the Mariners in 10 innings on Friday, the hardest pitch thrown by any pitcher this season. “I've been feeling really good, but I didn't really think anything of it at the time,” Joyce said. “I was trying to go out there and get some outs. But yeah, overall, the body felt great and everything felt really good.” There's no doubt about it,” Washington said. “He's growing, man. He's starting to believe in himself and his ability to throw the ball over the plate. If he can do that, he's going to be a real good one.” Whitely #1 to #21 MLB.com Feb 2024 Whitley, the 6-foot-7-inch right-hander who was Houston's first-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, has thrown only 267 innings in his Minor League career thanks to a suspension, a series of injuries, including Tommy John surgery two years ago and a lat injury last season. Whitley said the TrackMan data collected Friday provided promising information about his arsenal. “Everything looked really good,” he said. “[Pitch] shapes were good. I threw a slider with almost 25 inches of horizontal break [Friday]. I don't know how accurate that is, but it was good to see. Yeah, stuff's right back to where it was. Got up to 98 [mph] in November, so velocity is still there and I'm bouncing back health-wise and not getting too sore.” “I've gone through so much the last three years,” he said. I feel like I've attained so much knowledge on the pitching side. Last year Whitley pitched for Triple-A Sugar Land and went 1-2 in eight appearances with a 5.70 ERA. He posted a solid strikeout rate, fanning 32 batters in 30 innings. But he missed the back half of the season with a lat strain. The towering righty revamped his routine this offseason, hoping an off-the-mound overhaul would make him a regular at Minute Maid Park. Connecting the MLB Dots River Ryan Dodgers Dot #1: MLB teams are purchasing damaged goods. Whether college coaches can't teach /do not wont to teach, doesn't change reality. These 2 hurlers are doppelgängers for what MLB is purchasing. Dot #2: MLB takes these damaged hurlers, places them on minor league teams for purpose of Development (see Damon Oppenheimer quote). But just like college, there is no teaching /no development to repair the damaged goods, only focus - Velo /Spin. Dot #3: Takes us to the Show, see Dodgers analysis below - absolute mess. As there is also no teaching/development in the Show, only focus - Velo/Spin, the hurlers remain damaged goods Dot #4: To solve any problem one needs to understand what caused the problem. If they do not recognize they're purchasing damaged goods, they're wasting their breath. More to the point, if they all believe - Wake Forest to Dodger Land - this throwing motion is the only way to maximize velocity they're sadly misguided and misinformed. Waldrep elbow injury braves #2 prospect Waldrep has made two starts in the big leagues in 2024, giving up 13 runs over seven innings, so he'll look to find a groove with Gwinnett in order to potentially get another shot with Atlanta down the road.

After six, Mendoza pulled Luis Severino who had allowed just two hits. On SNY, Gary Cohen offered a weak explanation: Severino was about to face the decisive “third time through the order.” As if both Cone, 25 years ago, and Don Larsen, in 1956, should have been yanked after six. Besides, with a lineup loaded with .215 batters, the Marlins all become Rod Carew come the seventh inning .203 .239 .230 .214 .213 .231 .249 .243 .245 Bigger Stronger ? Tanner Houck The All-Star pitcher finished the first half with a 2.54 ERA through 19 starts. On Tuesday in Arlington, Texas, he pitched one inning in the All-Star Game, Before the break, manager Alex Cora suggested they would reorganize the rotation to give Houck extra time off, Houck's Monday start means he won't have pitched more than an inning since July 11, giving him 10 days between starts. Houck is already at 117 innings, but Cora said they think Houck's physicality puts him in a good spot to carry him through the season. Garrett Crochet Max Fried: MLB Facts “Because obviously, it scares you or alarms you,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “That's why he wanted to get in front of it and make sure it wasn't anything big. 2 forearm injuries successive seasons: MLB's MO is to play wac-a -mole. “Definitely a relief to know it's just a little bit of a freak accident. Just going to let it calm down for a little bit, and it should be good to go with no issues.” Not a freak accident, Fried's throwing motion maximizes the forces on his shoulder/elbow Fried, 30, was limited to 14 starts in 2023, when he was out for three months with a forearm strain FACT: MLB hurlers will not make adjustments to their throwing motion. FACT: MLB Pitching coaches do not encourage pitchers to make adjustments FACT: Minor league pitchers will not make adjustments to their throwing motion FACT: Minor league pitching coaches do not encourage prospects to make adjustments FACT: The Analytic's experts have re-defined and reduced the art of pitching to Velocity and Spin from the 4 tenets of pitching Command, Change of Speed, Movement, Velocity REALITY: With all due respect to the experts who have been quoted in the numerous articles, unless they start teaching/developing in the minor leagues nothing will change. FACT: This throwing motion, i.e phase movements and lower half /ball timing maximizes the forces on the shoulder and elbow. They're not willing to address, nothing changes Yes, The game has changed - Phil Mushnick We've lately tuned in to Mets telecasts to hear that their bullpen is exhausted, as if that's a matter of bad fortune as opposed to managerial design. So Thursday, the Mets led the Nationals, 5-0, after six, when Carlos Mendoza brought in new guy Phil Maton, who made one, two, three with two strikeouts on 10 pitches. And then he was pulled. In a 7-0 final, Mendoza used five pitchers. Why? I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

Whose job to keep them healthyYamamoto moved to 60-day IL, out until at least mid-AugustTyler Glasnow Forearm TJ Oblique Back “It's certainly not ideal,” Roberts conceded. “But my job is to keep this thing moving forward.”Drew Smith Tommy John surgery “We're going to need guys to step up,” general manager David Stearns said. “This is not unique to us.” “Our job is to help him,” Mendoza said. “He'll get back on the field.Lance McCullers TJ/ Flexor Tendon surgery shoulder issues The team has “pulled back” on McCullers' rehab progression with what manager Joe Espada described as “soreness in his arm,” intensifying Houston's need for rotation help at the July 30 trade deadline.“He's just not feeling well after his bullpens and his throwing programs,” Espada said on Tuesday. “He's going to be no-throw for a few days until we sit back down and re-evaluate how we're going to move forward.”Ben Joyce ANAHEIM -- Don't blink. You might just miss one of Ben Joyce's fastballs.Joyce has been lighting up radar guns yet again this season, including uncorking a 104.5 mph fastball in a scoreless seventh inning of the Angels' 6-5 win over the Mariners in 10 innings on Friday, the hardest pitch thrown by any pitcher this season.“I've been feeling really good, but I didn't really think anything of it at the time,” Joyce said. “I was trying to go out there and get some outs. But yeah, overall, the body felt great and everything felt really good.”There's no doubt about it,” Washington said. “He's growing, man. He's starting to believe in himself and his ability to throw the ball over the plate. If he can do that, he's going to be a real good one.”Whitely #1 to #21 MLB.com Feb 2024 Whitley, the 6-foot-7-inch right-hander who was Houston's first-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, has thrown only 267 innings in his Minor League career thanks to a suspension, a series of injuries, including Tommy John surgery two years ago and a lat injury last season.Whitley said the TrackMan data collected Friday provided promising information about his arsenal.“Everything looked really good,” he said. “[Pitch] shapes were good. I threw a slider with almost 25 inches of horizontal break [Friday]. I don't know how accurate that is, but it was good to see. Yeah, stuff's right back to where it was. Got up to 98 [mph] in November, so velocity is still there and I'm bouncing back health-wise and not getting too sore.”“I've gone through so much the last three years,” he said. I feel like I've attained so much knowledge on the pitching side. Last year Whitley pitched for Triple-A Sugar Land and went 1-2 in eight appearances with a 5.70 ERA. He posted a solid strikeout rate, fanning 32 batters in 30 innings. But he missed the back half of the season with a lat strain.The towering righty revamped his routine this offseason, hoping an off-the-mound overhaul would make him a regular at Minute Maid Park.Connecting the MLB DotsRiver Ryan Dodgers Dot #1: MLB teams are purchasing damaged goods. Whether college coaches can't teach /do not wont to teach, doesn't change reality. These 2 hurlers are doppelgängers for what MLB is purchasing.Dot #2: MLB takes these damaged hurlers, places them on minor league teams for purpose of Development (see Damon Oppenheimer quote). But just like college, there is no teaching /no development to repair the damaged goods, only focus - Velo /Spin. Dot #3: Takes us to the Show, see Dodgers analysis below - absolute mess. As there is also no teaching/development in the Show, only focus - Velo/Spin, the hurlers remain damaged goodsDot #4: To solve any problem one needs to understand what caused the problem. If they do not recognize they're purchasing damaged goods, they're wasting their breath.

While there are a few good options in the American League, it's the National League that has drummed up quite a bit of debate.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about why Pittsburgh Pirates' ace Paul Skenes is the obvious choice for many to start the game, however, after only making 10 MLB starts, it's left the door open for a more deserving veteran to be the selection. They also wonder if Garrett Crochet playing on the Chicago White Sox will hurt his chances to get the nod for the AL start.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the immediate impact that Rece Hinds has had on the Cincinnati Reds, they give credit to Ben Cherington for hanging with Rowdy Tellez after his rough start to the season and which New York Yankees hitter will have the highest OPS the rest of the season after Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.Jake and Jordan then go around the league discussing Jordan Westburg and Hunter Greene being named replacement players to the All-Star Game, the New York Mets trading for Phil Maton, the Boston Red Sox door of opportunity being open and the latest news surrounding Wander Franco.(1:59) - NL All-Star Game starting pitcher(15:51) - AL All-Star Game starting pitcher(18:43) - We need to talk about…(30:57) - Yankees 3rd OPS leader(34:53) - All-Star Game news(41:15) - Around the league(48:08) - Wander Franco updateFollow the show on X at @CespedesBBQFollow Jake @Jake_MintzFollow Jordan @J_Shusterman_
