From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Safe to say Gordo, Sammy, and Pat aren't happy with the Red Sox action (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline. How frustrated are the guys with the Sox only grabbing a reliever in Steven Matz and a low-end starter in Dustin May? Also, even without big additions, the Sox are still a capable playoff team if the ball bounces the right way for them. And, Joe Ryan was the big fish the Sox couldn't get, but just like Garrett Crochet, the confidence in Ryan being traded to Boston might've actually increased.

Even thought Craig Breslow and others said it would be an aggressive trade deadline, the Red Sox only have Steven Matz and Dustin May to show for their additions. How frustrating is it to see another lackluster deadline effort from an organization with a team fully ready to compete and win? Then, another reminder to take everything the Sox front office says with a grain of salt. And, Joe Ryan would've been great and was real for about a minute.

Brian reacts to a quiet trade deadline for the Red Sox, which saw the team add pitchers Steven Matz and Dustin May, but miss out on other, better players (0:20). Then, he chats with Sox Prospects' Chris Hatfield about the deadline, the Red Sox's trades, why the Sox didn't make bigger moves, who might get called up to the majors as the season winds down, and more (22:20). Brian and Jamie offer up some final thoughts on the deadline and Craig Breslow's GM tenure (1:00:20). The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Sonny Gray described the impact of the St. Louis heat after Tuesday's loss to the Marlins as the Cardinals fell 5-0 to the Fish at Busch Stadium. Gray pitches decently, but described the issues he's been having gripping the baseball in the sweltering STL heat.

Hey, I loved hearing it and I'll explain why I enjoyed Sonny's perspective so much.Plus, an odd scenario unfolding that made it seem like the Hug Watch could be on for Cardinal lefty Steven Matz.

He analyzes pitching rotation issues, including detailed breakdowns of Miles Mikolas and Jordan Hicks' recent starts, and considers Steven Matz as a possible rotation addition.

On April 30, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds faced the St. Louis Cardinals in a split doubleheader at Great American Ball Park, prompted by the postponement of the previous night's game due to heavy rain and severe weather threats. The Reds, riding a five-game winning streak and holding a 16-13 record, aimed to maintain their momentum in the National League Central. However, the doubleheader proved challenging, resulting in a sweep by the Cardinals and exposing areas of concern for Cincinnati. In Game 1, starting at 12:40 p.m. ET, the Reds fell 6-0. Brady Singer, Cincinnati's starter, pitched six scoreless innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight without a walk. Despite his effort, the Reds' offense was stifled by Cardinals' pitcher Miles Mikolas, managing only five hits and no runs. The game remained scoreless until the ninth, when Reds reliever Alexis Díaz struggled, surrendering three consecutive home runs to Victor Scott II, Lars Nootbaar, and Masyn Winn, who hit his second of the game. Díaz allowed five runs, ballooning his ERA and drawing criticism from fans on X for his lack of command, with some calling his pitches “batting practice.” Game 2, starting at 6:40 p.m. ET, saw the Reds lose 9-1. Chase Petty, a 22-year-old top pitching prospect, made his MLB debut as the 27th man for the doubleheader. Petty, called up from Triple-A Louisville, struggled, giving up five runs over four innings. The Cardinals capitalized early, and the Reds' offense again faltered against Steven Matz, scoring just one run. Posts on X highlighted fan disappointment, noting the Reds' combined one run across both games and Petty's rough debut, though some remained hopeful for his future. The doubleheader exposed offensive inconsistencies and bullpen weaknesses, particularly Díaz's meltdown. Injuries also loomed large: outfielder Austin Hays was sidelined with a hamstring issue, and infielder Jeimer Candelario was placed on the 10-day IL with a back injury, retroactive to April 28. Tyler Callihan was called up to fill the gap. Despite the losses, the Reds (16-15) had a chance to split the four-game series in the finale. Under new manager Terry Francona, the team's young core, including Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain, remains a focal point for optimism as they navigate a grueling 17-game stretch without an off day until May 12.

The Cincinnati Reds face the St. Louis Cardinals in a split doubleheader today, April 30, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, rescheduled due to yesterday's rainout. Game 1 starts at 12:40 p.m. ET, with Game 2 at 6:40 p.m. ET. The Reds, riding a five-game winning streak, aim to capitalize on their momentum against a struggling Cardinals squad (12-17), who are desperate to avoid one of their worst 30-game starts in the Wild Card era. Game 1 Preview: Brady Singer (4-0, 3.62 ERA) takes the mound for the Reds against Miles Mikolas (0-2, 5.70 ERA). Singer, acquired in the offseason, has been a reliable arm, though Great American's hitter-friendly confines could test him. Mikolas, coming off a strong shutout against Atlanta, will look to keep the ball out of the middle of the plate. The Reds' lineup, led by Elly De La Cruz's superstar spark, should see Matt McLain's return after hamstring soreness. However, injuries to Austin Hays, Jeimer Candelario, and Tyler Stephenson may force reliance on call-ups like Chase Petty and Tyler Callihan. The Cardinals' offense, inconsistent this season, needs production from Paul Goldschmidt to counter Cincinnati's speed and power. Game 2 Preview: The Reds have not announced their starter, with Nick Martinez (0-2, 5.91 ERA) or a bullpen game as possibilities. St. Louis counters with Steven Matz (2-0, 1.80 ERA), whose early-season form makes him a tough matchup. The Reds' offense, bolstered by Noel Marte's recent two-run homer, must stay disciplined against Matz's command. De La Cruz, a dynamic force, and a hopefully healthy McLain will be key. The Cardinals, meanwhile, lean on their pitching to cool Cincinnati's hot streak, but their shaky bullpen could be a liability late. Key Factors: The Reds' aggressive baserunning, led by De La Cruz, could exploit St. Louis' defensive lapses. Cincinnati's bullpen, with Emilio Pagán's experience, needs to hold leads. For the Cardinals, generating early offense and avoiding high-leverage relief situations are critical. Weather should cooperate, with clear skies forecast. With Terry Francona's strategic edge and Cincinnati's young talent clicking, the Reds are favored to split or sweep, but St. Louis's desperation could make this a tight battle.

Continuing the conversation that began in the Best Podcast in Baseball episode 21, season 12, KMOX/1120 AM's Kevin Wheeler considers the question on how the Cardinals can accumulate younger talent, draft picks, or both. The answer begins at first base. The questions continue from there in this brand new Best Podcast in Baseball that ultimately reaches a discussion about the World Series and whether a clash between high-spending baseball royalty, the Dodgers of Los Angeles and the Yankees of New York, is great for marketing the game, good for the fans, great for the history buffs, potentially grand for TV ratings, and yet is it a positive for the industry? The 2024 World Series is the culmination of several years with a consolidation of talents. On the field will be two handfuls of future Hall of Famers, two 50-homer players, and the favorites to win this year's MVPs in each league. In fact, no World Series has featured this many past MVP winners. And all of them have either been traded or, in the case of homegrown Yankee slugger Aaron Judge, reached free agency. The billion-dollar constellation of superstars in this World Series are all players who have hit the jackpot of free agency or extensions, with the exception of Juan Soto, who is days away from doing so. If such players collect on the same teams, like the Dodgers or primed-to-spend Mets, what does that mean for how other teams contend, especially those in the middle markets? That is something else to watch in the wake of this World Series. But the podcast resumes its discussion of the current Cardinals and how president of baseball operations is taking a franchise that is also part of baseball royalty and like a vintage muscle car sprucing it up before passing it along to a new owner, who is tasked with turning it into a lean, mean, more full-efficient machine. Within the next two weeks, Paul Goldschmidt will become a free agent for the first time in his career, and the Cardinals must decide whether to present him with a qualifying offer to secure a draft pick if he signs elsewhere. Such a move would give Goldschmidt the choice to accept a one-year, $21-million contract for 2025 or see if he could better in the marketplace. As the Cardinals look to cut costs, their decision seems clear -- but in this brand new podcast, Wheeler and Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold discuss another motivation in play for the Cardinals and their "reset." Are they better creating an inventory of players to trade in 2025 or picks, and what does that mean for bringing back pitchers at the end of their contracts like Steven Matz, Erick Fedde, and Kyle Gibson, who has a team option for 2025. Could they be trade pieces? If so, when would be the best time to maximize the return on them -- the offseason or the trade deadline. BPIB discuss the benefits of setting an asking price and sticking to it versus the risk of injury and performance that comes with waiting for the urgent market of July. 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.
