The official changes to some Cardinals' leadership roles, from the front office to the dugout, as they approach their "reset" winter continued on the eve of the World Series with the first new addition to the front office, a new coach, and a new role for an all-time great. Kevin Wheeler, co-host of the drive-time show and baseball coverage at KMOX/1120 AM, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss with Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold the moves the Cardinals have made, the names involved -- and some of the motivations and goals driving them. From there the conversation expands into an audit of the Cardinals strategy and financial position. The team has advertised as cut in payroll as it bends young and reinvests in an eroded player development program, but there's more going on than just a shifting of dollars and sense. There is the potential for a huge cut in revenue that is driving some of their decisions, and is not their plan to increase spending on minor-league coaches and technology, nor the $100-million project to upgrade the Roger Dean Stadium complex in Jupter, Florida, with new player development facilities. Looming on the horizon is the possibility the Cardinals will not get some or all of the $78 million owed them from their broadcast partner for 2025 and the reality that the jackpot years ahead in their billion-dollar broadcast rights deal aren't going to come to fruition. That shift in revenue prompts the questions that direct this podcast -- how much must the Cardinals cut, and how soon? The answer may not be as simple as just shedding salaries. There is a way for the Cardinals to chase their goal of accumulating young talent, clearing opportunity for in-house talent, and still cleave dollars off the payroll. And that is where this brand new podcast ends with Part 1 and will continue with Part 2. Part 2 will drop Friday. 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.
On a windy day on the back fields of Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., Mike Claiborne, one of the radio voices of the Cardinals, joins baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss how maybe Flag Day is too late in the schedule to determine where the club is headed in 2024. So it's time for an earlier Claiborne appearnce. It's a Leap Year. It's after a losing season. It's after a last-place season. That date will come much earlier. Claiborne, a regular on the Best Podcast in Baseball around Flag Day, the day he has annually suggested it's time to check the standing, agrees with the premise that it could be Memorial Day this season, or even May Day. As spring training activities, Florida gusts, and one mower swirl around them, Claiborn and St. Louis Post-Dispatch staff writer Goold discuss pivotal years for Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, and the Cardinals leadership. They also discuss what a lineup could look like with the left-handed options or if it's someday built around young sluggers Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker. Goold asks Claiborne three questions to close out the episode: Can a player be a Cardinal great without playoff success? What tone has he seen set in spring training to match the importance of the season? And, finally, what's at stake for the Cardinals this season that moves up the Flag Day reality check? 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 Derrick Goold.

For this week's First Five, we went over Trey Mancini's heartwarming standing ovation, WWE news, the release of Cardinals pitcher Daniel Ponce de Leon's new book "One Line Drive.", Raptors big COVID problems, and the USA's SheBelieves Cup win (1:00). Then Hawk delved into City's 2-1 victory over The Hammers, with John and Ruben, two unlikely goal scorers doing the damage (20:00). Later Fulahm's finishing was still on the bus, with multiple close chances on the net that we failed to capitalize on vs. Crystal Place. Josh Maja was the closest to breaking the 0-0 score (25:00). Later we quickly chatted about the fantastic news that Patrick Kane scored his 400th career goal, along with Blackhawks trade rumors (30:00). Then we broke down the Bulls' implosion at the hand of the Phoenix Suns. Zach and Coby led the way for us, whereas Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton mauled Carter, Jr. in route to igniting the comeback for Phoenix. Later we chatted about our game vs. the Denver Nuggets. Jokic, Murray, and M. Porter, Jr. all played great, especially with Jokic scoring 39, Coby, Zach, and Thad Young led our effort (40:00). Finally, CJ Hawk reminisced about his Grandfather's diehard love of the St. Louis Cardinals. He watched The Washington Nationals vs. Cardinals Spring Training Home Opener at Roger Dean Stadium on MLB.TV with his Mom to continue a family tradition. The standing ovation for new Cardinal Nolan Arenado, one of the best baseball players, was very fun. Also, seeing former Cub Kyle Schwarber start for the Nats was different. And finally, it was cool seeing Erick Fedde start on the mound for the Nats; Hawk saw him pitch vs. The Cubs at Wrigley Field a few years ago (70:00). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ben9314/message
