We have a bunch of arms and more in the pipeline. It’s what’s needed
I think the fans were begging for a true rebuild and were pissed with Mo doing a half-assed job. We are going to be bad next year, but it will not be a shock to fans and they are going to be in a much better position for the future than last year.
About time. Let’s get back to the business of winning big.
I’m so excited to have direction. A plan. I’m excited to watch the young guys. Let’s get better and exciting.
Personally, I hope they do something about the in game experience as well. Seems stale. Idk what the answer is but I’d like to see more energy in Busch.
The rebuild now is real.
The Cardinals have taken a net $59 M off of their $135 M 2025 payroll with Fedde, Micolas, Matz, Helsley, Gray (net $10 million with cash to Boston), Contreras (net $16 Million with cash to Boston), plus $12.5 M for Dustin May. They need to make sure we have a representative team next year, spend money to add with trades or free agency, as the fans won’t tolerate a 70 win team in 2026 even with the future brighter.
Contreras bat must be replaced and if Donovan is moved that also needs to be replaced. They have the money to do that. They have to score runs.
Hope is in short supply. Being positive is tough, speaking solely for myself
I’m not looking forward to another 3 years of losing baseball while playing in one of the easiest divisions in the league, but if it means a stable championship team that actually will win a WS then I’ll just deal with it.
There’s no shock value here. If the Cardinals had committed to a rebuild 3 years ago like they should’ve then they would be much closer to being competitive now. Instead they decided to do half rebuild/half retain the illusion of competition. Can’t really have it both ways.
Also just saying, if we’re accepting a full rebuild with Bloom, I don’t mind him sending everyone to Boston so he can get all his guys back.

Albert Pujols is not walking through that door…
