We tackle one of the hottest topics in St. Louis baseball: Is Chaim Bloom the right choice to replace John Mozeliak as President of Baseball Operations? With the Cardinals officially in rebuild mode after a disappointing 2025 season, the fanbase is buzzing with frustration over back-to-back-to-back playoff misses. Is he truly the leader to turn things around, or will his mixed track record (success in Tampa, struggles in Boston) spell more pain for Bird fans?🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

We dive deep into the St. Louis Cardinals' youth movement for the 2025 season and beyond. With the team emphasizing development over immediate contention, we break down which young stars deserve the highest priority in the lineup and long-term plans. Join us as we analyze Lars Nootbaar's elite hard-hit metrics (91st percentile in 2024) and defensive upside, despite his injury history; Nolan Gorman's raw power potential as a bounce-back candidate, even with contact and defensive issues; Jordan Walker's high ceiling but need for consistency after multiple AAA stints; Ivan Herrera's emerging bat and out-of-options status making him a must-play catcher; Brendan Donovan's versatile leadership and all-around skills as the glue of the core; and Alec Burleson's solid contact and power, projected for 1+ WAR despite defensive limitations.🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Should the Cardinals call up their top prospect, JJ Wetherholt? The 2024 first-round pick (7th overall) has been tearing it up in the minors with his elite bat speed, defensive versatility at SS/2B, and .300+ batting average. Is it time to inject some youth into the lineup, or should they let him develop further? We weigh the pros, cons, and fan reactions.
