If you sensed some melancholy from both the Cardinals as they announced trading a Hall of Fame-caliber player to Arizona and also from that player, Nolan Arenado, as he described feeling "in the way" where once he expected to retire, that's fair. There was that disappointment on both sides as what could have been came to an end. In a brand new episode of the Best Podcast in Baseball, St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold and editor Nathan Mills discuss the conclusion of a trade more than a year in the making and potentially a streak that stretches back more than a century. For more than 100 consecutive years, without pause, the Cardinals have had a Hall of Fame player or manager in uniform with the team, and that streak could end with 2025. Or, it will be a young player who has yet to emerge as an All-Star who we'll discover in hindsight continued it. The Cardinals reach their annual Winter Warm-up after trading their third namebrand All-Star of the offseason and facing a difficult task of selling a team to a fan base that already had a record-low appetite for purchasing tickets. The pulse of the fans will be on display during the weekend Warm-up, but less clear is how the Cardinals will promote their future and what jerseys will fans be able to purchase. Mills and Goold discuss that and more, like who takes over at third base for the Cardinals and who should take over at third to excite the fans. The podcast concludes with one things fans can look forward to doing in 2026 and how that one thing, voting Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina into the team's Hall of Fame, can be used to create an event that will thrill Cardinals Nation as well give the current Cardinals a feel of what the ballpark is like at its best. Halls of various fames become a recurring theme of the podcast, allowing Goold to note there may not be a Hall of Fame at his high school but he can totally brag about being in class with a future astronaut, Jack Fischer.

With 2025 coming to a close, Josh Jacobs and Sandy McMillan do a Modern Day St. Louis Cardinals Draft, selecting the best possible team of players from the last quarter-century of Cardinals baseball (2000-2025). Hall of Fame talents like Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, Scott Rolen, and Jim Edmonds highlight the list, but whose team will come out stronger?
There should be ballads written about Willson Contreras' brief time with the Cardinals. From his arrival as the All-Star eager for the challenge of following Yadier Molina, to that weird week when he took fly balls in left field and stopped catching, to the injuries and fractures and ultimately his move to first base, out from behind home plate without skipping a beat at the plate. Contreras brought both joy and fury to the Cardinals' lineup and clubhouse, and at some point his absence will be felt by the teammates who remain. But he won't be a alone. In a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball, recorded on Christmas Eve, Post-Dispatch editor Nathan Mills and baseball writer Derrick Goold discuss the Cardinals' counterintuitive shopping list for the holidays and what is missing from it and possibly from the clubhouse during his reboot of an organization. The Cardinals traded a starter (Sonny Gray) only to sign a starter (Dustin May) a few weeks later; they traded a right-handed bat from the middle of the order (Contreras) only to suggest a few hours later that they would now look for a right-handed bat to add to the roster. The Cardinals are swapping All-Stars for pitching depth and then looking to replace those veterans with players on shorter-term deals or with more control and less cost. What's missing from those moves is the leadership and experience that the Cardinals have long championed as part of their continuity, as part of their identity as a club. And more trades ahead could mean the departure of Brendan Donovan, who personifies the way the Cardinals like to play and be in the clubhouse; JoJo Romreo, the seasoned reliever in the bullpen; and Nolan Arenado, the future Hall of Famer and Gold Glove-cornerstone at third. Mills and Goold discuss what happens when a young group of players isn't inheriting expectations but tasked with trying to grow them. More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing. As the Cardinals have retreated from annual October appearances they have also faded from the national spotlight. They haven't been historically bad. They haven't been as good as their recent history. Jordan Shusterman, senior writer at Yahoo! Sports and host of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, begins a converation on a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball there: Their absence from the national conversation and what will get them back. The answer, of course, is identifying what current players must be a part of the next contending core. That drives this new episode of the long-running Cardinals podcast. When Shusterman joined BPIB and host Derrick Goold for this recording, he entered his name as "#1 Jimmy Crooks Fan," and that fondness for the Cardinals' left-handed hitting catching prospect came up as the two baseball writers tracked the list of teams that have missed the postseason in the same years as the Cardinals. One of those teams -- the San Francisco Giants -- is not only the subject of a forthcoming article by Shusterman but also one of the teams interested in the Cardinals' Brendan Donovan and also a team that shares a standout trait with the Cardinals. Both clubs featured Hall of Fame caliber catchers as their cornerstones and have faded in the years since Buster Posey and Yadier Molina retired. The podcast also includes a discussion on sleeper picks for the future core and how lefty Liam Doyle, the Cardinals' first-round pick in the recent draft, could wake up the ballpark with his debut and personality, if the performance is there to match. He's compared to a closer, just at the start of the game. Plus, did Cardinals' fatigue contribute to the Cardinals' drift out of the national headlines?

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 It's been a minute since a brand-new Best Podcast in Baseball and there's a lot to catch up on. For the first time in 18 years, the Cardinals have a new president of baseball operations, and for the first time in even longer they're talking about a team-building plan that doesn't include promises of aiming to contend for a World Series championship. That will likely mean an active winter of trades. At the same time, two prominent former Cardinals, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, are throwing their names in the ring for manager vacancies elsewhere, with at least two teams (and likely a third soon) entertaining Pujols as a strong candidate for their open position. And, in the past week, a former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt retired from the position with San Diego, spurring conversation about why he left both jobs abruptly and resurfacing reasons reported in the Post-Dispatch and elsewhere after his sudden firing in 2021. Former players and old conversations all swirl together to invite the question on whether to truly move in a fresh direction did the Cardinals need a stretch like this that brings closure to the past and signals the new era. Kevin Wheeler, of KMOX/104.1 FM, joins Derrick Goold for a (long overdue) new episode of BPIB to discuss that and more. The "just hanging on" kitten plays a prominent role in the conversation. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

In a shortened edition of Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley discusses the rumors of Yadier Molina potentially joining the Cardinals' coaching staff, and then hear audio from Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery as they prepare for the Blues' first game of the season.
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?
Cardinals legend Yadier Molina recently revealed that he is looking to join the coaching staff of the St. Louis Cardinals. Is that a good idea to have him around a rebuilding club next season? Will he be a distraction to the team, or will he bring out the best in the Cardinals' young players? Will Yadi replace Oli Marmol as manager of the Cardinals one day?
Bernie Miklasz joined Tom Ackerman to reflect on John Mozeliak's 18-year tenure leading the Cardinals front office. He highlighted Mozeliak's impact on the organization, from maintaining stability after Walt Jocketty's departure to drafting and developing cornerstone players such as Yadier Molina, and making major acquisitions like Matt Holliday and Nolan Arenado. They discussed managerial hires including Mike Matheny, Mike Shildt, and Oli Marmol, each of whom won division titles, and the recent scrutiny of Marmol's decision to intentionally walk Michael Bush at Wrigley Field, a move some fans criticized but Miklasz defended as strategically sound.
First up, the legendary Yadier Molina is back in the dugout as a guest coach for the entire weekend series against the San Francisco Giants. We break down what his presence means for the young catchers and the team's morale—could this be a hint at a bigger role for Yadi in the future?Then, we celebrate a gritty series win over the Giants, pushing the Cardinals back to .500 and keeping those faint playoff hopes alive. From Sonny Gray's no-hit bid in the finale to key hits that sealed the 2-1 series victory, we recap the highs, lows, and standout performances that made this homestand memorable. Finally, the big debate: Should Oli Marmol return as manager in 2026? With his contract expiring and Chaim Bloom set to take over baseball ops, we weigh the pros and cons—from Marmol's growth as a skipper to fan calls for change, including potential replacements like Yadi himself.

(00:00-20:48) Wild card, here we come. Thought that rain delay was gonna snag Sonny Gray. Audio of Gray talking about the not trying to "look like an idiot" last night. Some positives out of Jordan Walker. Martin's holding rights for Gorman. Time for Slurpees. Shout out Herb in Greece. City Connect uniforms. Craig T. Nelson. St. Louis, we're an impacted colon.(20:57-39:46) Here come the Rockies. Is tonight a night to hammer the over? How often does Doug have a sports-related cry? Just the sight of Yadier Molina makes people weep. Which local athletes took poor performances and tough games the hardest? It all goes back to money, sex, or religion. Marmol got a peek at the text line when he was in with BK & Ferrario on Friday.(39:56-59:27) Is this the heavy petting anthem? What are the Cardinals' current odds to make the playoffs. Holes are tightening in New York. Quite a few games against teams ahead of them in the wild card. Good morning, Pestus. Pestus thinks it's gonna be a magic week. Pestus wants to know why Jackson doesn't like dogs. Pestus is an emotional fella. Herb's brown shirts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yadier Molina returns to St. Louis for the first time since 2023 and will be in uniform for the first time since 2022 as he joins Oliver Marmol's staff for two games against the Cubs at the invitation of the manaer. Molina is the first of seven things to watch during the home stand that welcomes the Cubs, Rockies, and Yankees for nine games in 10 days. St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon and baseball writer Derrick Goold list the other three things each they are looking for in the next week at Busch Stadium. Attendance is on the list, especially with two brand-name opponnents. But so is the bullpen, Jordan Walker's swing, Nolan Gorman's playing time, and in the coming weeks what appetite the Cardinals have to discuss contract extensions with any of the young players.

(00:00-7:17) Per John Denton, Yadier Molina will be in uniform and in the dugout this weekend for the Cards. The 61Hate hasn't sent in his questions yet. Smitty Shuttle. Oli Marmol will be in studio with BK & Ferrario. Security at the airport had Doug scurrying.(7:25-29:33) Still waiting on Miles MIkolas to call in. Is it because he heard we have a dog hater on the show? Looking back at his rough outing on Tuesday. Two steps forward, one step back. How long does it take to get over a bad outing? What's the mindset when deciding to waive a no trade clause? Taking 4 of 6 from the Dodgers but still a .500 team on the season. Finding consistency. Fielding a question from a texter.(29:43-35:57) E-Mail of the DaySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
