Cardinals News

Jordan Walker is set to showcase his power as he joins the Home Run Derby, marking a highlight in a season that finally sees him living up to expectations. His emergence is a much-needed boost for a Cardinals team that is still grappling with pitching depth issues, evidenced by the recent signing of Durbin Feltman and the departures of Jared Shuster and Bruce Zimmerman. Despite a lukewarm 3-4 record over the last week, the Cardinals managed to flex their offensive muscles with a 5-1 victory over the Brewers, pushing their run differential to an impressive +11. As trade buzz swirls around targets like Logan Gilbert, the spotlight intensifies on the team's future direction. With O'Brien's unexpected All-Star nod and Walker's ascent, there are glimmers of hope amid the roster chaos.

The St. Louis Cardinals Crooked catching situation

Jimmy Crooks has terrible timing. In more ways than one. In most organizations, he would be in a pretty great spot right now. Sure, he’s struggled pretty mightily in his second try at the major leagues. But he’s a catcher and considered a good defender at that. Teams will wait multiple years for your bat […]
