Prior to getting into the meat of this week’s post, I wanted to add two disclaimers that many of you will probably deem unnecessary but for my own psyche, I am going to do it anyway. And with that, the main attraction. The St. Louis Cardinals and Chaim Bloom are officially full speed ahead in […]
The “unofficial” kick-off to the 2026 season is underway, and Winter Warm-Up day 1 is in the books. Chaim, Oli, and 13 players graced the media stage inside Busch Stadium. Spirits were high as each player expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming season and the opportunities that lie ahead, as the roster churn this offseason […]
If your jaw hit the floor when you learned that the Los Angeles Dodgers had signed free agent Kyle Tucker to a borderline offensive contract this week, you were not alone. Now that we know that the Dodgers payroll will top $400 million dollars for the upcoming season, it’s more important than ever that Chaim […]
The Edmonton Oilers will hold a ceremony on Sunday ahead of their game against the St. Louis Blues to honour Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ 1,000th NHL game. The 32-year-old will reach the milestone Sunday, where he’s set to become the first player in franchise history to play all 1,000 of his career games with the Oilers. The…
With the Nolan Arenado trade in the books, the Cardinals roster is coming into focus. While we are likely to see a few more transactions before the buses roll into Jupiter, this feels like a good time to give a zoomed-out look at the 40-man roster and the upper-minors depth. Regardless of what happens with […]
If nothing else, tonight’s loss by the Tampa Bay Lightning is a perfect example of why it’s so hard to string long winning streaks together in the NHL. Despite statistically dominating the St. Louis Blues for most of the night, the Lightning saw their eleven-game winning streak come to a halt as they fell in a shootout, 3-2.
It’s not often a team puts up a heat map like that and ends up on the losing side. Yet, that’s what happened as the Lightning ran into a hot goaltender in Joel H...
President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom has said that he wants to add a veteran arm to the St. Louis Cardinals pitching staff. According to a new report, that might be free agent pitcher Griffin Canning who the Cardinals have been in contact with. MLB Trade Rumors just dropped the word that the St. Louis […]
The makeshift 2021 Cubs, after a bad run for most of August, won 10 of 13 late that month and early September, then went on another long losing jag, losing 10 of 13 entering a doubleheader date with the Cardinals on Sept. 24. In 2021, as was the case in 2020, doubleheader games were limited […]

Last week I started a walk-thru entitled Baseball meets Technology. I indicated I’d follow up with more on that topic this week, but here we are. The follow-up tech article I’ve started really isn’t cohesive enough for publication. I think it needs more research and some threads to tie it together better. So I will […]
St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom and his team had a busy day of of international signings that included 5 outfielders, 4 pitchers, 2 infielders and a catcher. Here’s the list of who the Cardinals signed today: Jordan Beltran RHP R/R 6’0” 170 – Santo Domingo, Dominican RepublicCarlos Carrion SS S/R 6”0” […]
I think that many would agree that St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom has already accomplished most of his goals for this offseason, but the question of what to do about Brendan Donovan remains. The latest rumors that I can find point to a trade to the San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, […]

On Monday, the expected happened. There was overwhelming support for JJ Wetherholt as the #1 prospect in the Cardinals system. It is unknown whether or not Wetherholt will make the Opening Day roster, but it seems pretty clear to me that Wetherholt is definitely ready. That’s not something you can say about probably any other […]
Earlier today, it was announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks had traded for Cardinals’ third baseman Nolan Arenado. The Cardinals are eating $31M of the $42M left on the remaining two years of Arenado’s deal. The Cardinals have been trying to unload Arenado for two offseasons. He famously rejected a deal to the Astros last year […]
Riddle me this, Batman. Now that the St. Louis Cardinals have banked millions of dollars by making significant veteran trades this offseason, what can they do to prove to the fans that they’re dedicated to winning? Would you sign a major free agent or negotiate a major extension with one of your core young players? […]
The Carolina Hurricanes were shut out by the St. Louis Blues, 3-0 on Tuesday night. The loss snapped a five game point streak for Carolina and it was the first time this season they were shut out. Joel Hofer earned the shutout, his fourth of the season. After a scoreless first period, the Blues scored […]
RJ Anderson was supposed to join us for this week’s episode; however, he came down with the flu. So, we pivoted to a different voice, one that’s growing in the Cardinals content sphere. His name is Tyler Gettinger, and he uses the handle @RedbirdFarmHands across multiple media platforms. Tyler is a co-host of his show […]
It’s no particular secret that the Cardinals have been trying to get out from under the Nolan Arenado contract for some time. The origins of this date back all the way to February 2019, when he signed an eight-year, $260 million deal while still a member of the Rockies. At the time, it was celebrated […]
After a tough overtime loss to Detroit last night, the Carolina Hurricanes (28-14-4) take on the St. Louis Blues (17-21-8) tonight at the Enterprise Arena. The Canes have a five game point streak going and they are 6-3-1 after their last 10 games. The Blues have lost three in a row and they are 4-6-0 […]
For those just sitting down for their morning coffee & scroll, ESPN’s Jeff Passan has posted that our beloved San Francisco Giants “are aggressively pursuing a second baseman and have been engaged with Chicago on Nico Hoerner and St. Louis on Brendan Donovan, sources tell ESPN.” This is simply a refresh of news reported exactly […]
After over a year of rumors (and at least one failed attempt in the past), the St. Louis Cardinals are finally trading Nolan Arenado. Per multiple reports (ope, and now confirmed by the teams ), the former Rockies and Cardinals third baseman is headed to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who sure love to keep everyone on their toes, eh?
Remember, the Diamondbacks were previously interested in both trading Ketel Marte and signing (now) Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman. But eventually, they pulled M...
This morning, Nolan Arenado was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks with Katie Woo first reporting a deal with close. Later, Jeff Passan confirmed the move. Nic Piecoro had the salary details: And Mark Feinsand added this: In return, the Cardinals will receive RHP Jack Martinez, who was selected in the 8th round of last year’s […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks are in agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals to acquire third baseman Nolan Arenado in exchange for 2025 8th-Round draft pick, Jack Martinez, a right-handed pitcher. Arenado has already agreed to waive his complete no-trade clause. Arenado is still owed two years and $42MM, though the Rockies are on the hook for […]
