November 07, 2024 Ep. 683: The Cardinals officially have a new TV deal! And there's going to be an app, too!
The Cardinals announced Thursday that they have a new agreement on a multi-year TV deal with FanDuel Sports Network, which is the entity formerly known as Bally Sports.
In a good update for fans who want to watch the games, you will now be able to purchase an app to do so if you live in the Cardinals TV market. That means you will have another option besides an expensive cable subscription.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses what this means for fans, what it means for the Cardinals payroll and revenues. The details we know, the details we don't yet know, and some informed speculation on exactly what might be coming next as a result of this news.

November 04, 2024 Ep. 681: No qualifying offer for Goldy - Did the Cardinals make the right call?
The Cardinals did not extend a qualifying offer to Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the deadline on Monday to do so. If the team had offered a QO, it could have gained a draft pick from whichever team signs him this winter.
The risk, of course, was that Goldy could have accepted it to lock in a $21 million salary with St. Louis for 2025.
In a year where the Cardinals are clearly looking to shed payroll obligations, that just was not a risk the club was going to take -- even if it stinks and is another sign that the Goldy era in St. Louis is ending rather unceremoniously.
Also in this episode of B-Schaeff Daily, we discuss the Cardinals going 0-for-3 with no Gold Glove finalists ultimately winning their award this year.

November 01, 2024 Ep. 680: NEWS: Cardinals claim Marlins SP off waivers — A Chaim Bloom upside move?
In more MLB news from Friday, the Cardinals have claimed right-handed pitcher Roddery Munoz off waivers from the Marlins, which could be the first of many moves this off-season that see the Cardinals target unproven talents in low-risk acquisitions.
Is this the type of move that makes sense for the Cardinals are they look usher in a new era under Chaim Bloom?
Without overreacting to what is decidedly an under-the-radar play, Munoz has the type of characteristics that the Cardinals should be targeting over the winter as they shift from reliance on highly-paid, known commodities toward giving opportunities to younger players in 2025.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the first key piece of news of the Cardinals off-season as the team announced Thursday it has declined the options on Kyle Gibson, Lance Lynn and Keynan Middleton for 2025.
The savings amounts to around $25 million. You could make a case that the players weren't really going to be worth that. The annoying part is going to be when the Cardinals don't really spend any money to replace the production as the payroll heads into a spiral this winter.
Let's talk it over as the off-season is officially underway.

October 28, 2024 Blues Breakdown Podcast Ep. 4: Can the St. Louis Blues withstand the Robert Thomas injury?
After a whirlwind week of St. Louis Blues hockey, Clay Herrell hops back on the Blues Breakdown Podcast to discuss it all.
Jake Neighbours got a new contract and then everything went off the rails. Robert Thomas is out for six weeks, and yet, we saw a version of Jordan Kyrou that was very interesting as a result of a new pairing in Thomas' absence.
The Blues had their first losing week of the season, but still found a noteworthy win over Craig Berube's Toronto Maple Leafs.
A lot to get into!
