Andrea Castillo+FollowCardinals lock in Nootbaar for $5.35M—smart move?Lars Nootbaar just secured a $5.35 million deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, coming in under MLB projections and avoiding the drama of arbitration. After an offseason full of trade rumors and heel surgeries, Nootbaar’s future with the team looked uncertain. Now, with this fair contract, the Cards are betting on his bounce-back in 2026. Fans are buzzing: Is this a steal for the team, or should they have held out for more? With Nootbaar’s health on the mend, his performance could be a game-changer. What do you think—good deal or risky gamble? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowCardinals lock in Donovan with $5.8M dealBrendan Donovan just secured a $5.8 million salary for 2026 with the St. Louis Cardinals—no arbitration drama this time. After last year’s tense hearing, Donovan responded with his best season yet, and the team rewarded him with a well-earned raise. This move keeps things smooth for both sides, but trade rumors are still swirling. With teams like the Mariners, Giants, Royals, and Red Sox reportedly interested, Donovan’s future in St. Louis isn’t set in stone. What do you think—should the Cardinals keep building around Donovan, or is it time to make a big trade? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards10Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowWhy the Cardinals should trade JoJo Romero nowJoJo Romero might be the Cardinals’ best shot at landing some fresh talent for their rebuild. With Brendan Donovan’s trade value in question and Nolan Arenado unlikely to move, Romero’s strong 2023 season (2.07 ERA, 8 saves) has contenders lining up for a lefty reliever. Trading him before he hits free agency could bring in solid prospects and help St. Louis get back on track faster. Would you rather see the Cards keep Romero for one more run, or cash in while his value is high? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowWhy the Cards Won't Deal Donny YetThe Brendan Donovan trade saga rolls on, and it’s all about value. The Cardinals see Donny as a star, but rival GMs aren’t biting at their high price—yet. With teams like the Mariners and Royals circling, it’s a classic standoff: will someone pony up two top prospects for his elite versatility, or will the Cards keep their Swiss Army knife for another run? Either way, the Hot Stove drama is real! #Sports #Baseball #STLCards10Share
Maria Chavez+FollowCardinals could score big with KopechAdding Michael Kopech to the Cardinals’ bullpen could be a game-changer. He’s got one of the fastest fastballs in the league and just wrapped up a stellar run with the Dodgers, posting a 1.13 ERA in 2024 and a 2.45 ERA in 2025. Kopech is still only 29, comes with huge upside, and wouldn’t break the bank. If things don’t click for the team early, he could even become a valuable trade chip. Would you want to see the Cards make this move, or do you think they should look elsewhere? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards30Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowCardinals’ bullpen shakeup hints at bigger tradeThe Cardinals just picked up lefty reliever Justin Bruihl in a quiet deal with the Guardians, but this move could be a sign of bigger changes coming to St. Louis’ bullpen. With JoJo Romero now the only experienced lefty reliever on the roster—and plenty of teams reportedly interested in him—Bruihl’s arrival might be the first domino to fall. If Romero gets traded, expect the Cardinals to target some solid prospects in return. What do you think: Is this a smart way to rebuild the bullpen, or are we in for a rocky ride? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowCould Zac Gallen spark a Cardinals comeback?Zac Gallen might be on his way back to St. Louis, and that could shake up the Cardinals’ entire season. With the team’s rotation getting younger after trading away Sonny Gray and losing Miles Mikolas, bringing in a proven ace like Gallen could be a game-changer—whether he’s leading the charge or becoming a valuable trade piece later. Gallen’s had ups and downs, but a return to the Cardinals could be just what he needs to get back to his best. Would you want to see Gallen back in a Cards uniform? How do you feel about this new direction for the team? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowCards Eye Valdez: Can They Nab the Astros’ Ace?Looks like the Redbirds aren’t done wheeling and dealing! With Framber “La Grasa” Valdez’s market ice-cold, there’s buzz that St. Louis could swoop in for the two-time All-Star. Adding Valdez would give the Cards’ rotation some much-needed swing-and-miss stuff—something we’ve lacked for years. If Chaim Bloom pulls this off, it’s a big win for the fanbase and a potential game-changer for 2026. What do you think—should we go all-in for Valdez or stick with the current plan? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
terrysharon+FollowCardinals fans react to Baseball America’s draft callBaseball America’s latest prediction for the Cardinals’ 2026 draft pick is raising eyebrows—projecting St. Louis to go for a “safe” high school shortstop, Tyler Spangler, instead of a high-upside talent. With the Cardinals’ new front office and player development staff aiming to swing bigger, many fans see this as a step backward to the old, low-risk draft philosophy that hasn’t paid off. Do you think the Cardinals should keep betting on high-ceiling prospects, or is a reliable all-around player the smarter move? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowShould Cards Go After 'The Hound' Bassitt?With the Cards bulking up their rotation, there's buzz about adding a veteran like Chris 'The Hound' Bassitt from the Jays. Bassitt's consistency and playoff experience could be the missing piece, especially if St. Louis wants another trade chip or insurance for a deep run. Would you roll the dice on a short-term deal for a proven arm, or stick with the current crew? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards00Share
