February 09, 2026 The Cardinals Are Testing Everyone, Even If They Won’t Admit It
The Cardinals are walking into 2026 with zero All Stars, and that changes everything. Bernie says this spring is not about “getting loose”, it’s a full-on audition.
In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie lays out why spring training results and readiness matter more than usual in a true rebuild, and he names the Cardinals players who have the most to prove before Opening Day. If “earn it” applies to top prospect JJ Wetherholt, then it better apply to the guys who struggled badly in 2025.

February 05, 2026 The Cardinals’ Biggest Problem Isn’t On the Field Anymore
CORRECTION: According to multiple media reports that were published earlier this week, the Cardinals would receive $20 million in local TV revenue this season as part of their move to MLB’s broadcasting arm.

Those reports have since been updated and corrected. The Cardinals will receive $40 million in local TV money for 2026, which is a drop of nearly $20 million from 2025.
-----------
The Cardinals are finally rebuilding the right way, and the farm system surge is real. But the financial floor is falling out, and Bernie lays out why this could change everything about how St. Louis competes moving forward.
In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz breaks down the Cardinals’ rapid farm-system rise under Chaim Bloom, then pivots to the brutal TV revenue collapse and how MLB’s revenue sharing rules, and loopholes, shape competitive balance.

February 04, 2026 From Stale To Relentless, The Cardinals Finally Have Urgency
Chaim Bloom didn’t just take the Cardinals job, he walked in with a full rebuild blueprint and made ownership commit to real change. Bernie explains why this feels like a totally different era already, faster decisions, better infrastructure, and an actual plan to modernize player development.
In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie dives into how Bloom “interviewed the Cardinals” during the hiring process, the 3.5-hour presentation that reportedly sold the DeWitts, and the wave of upgrades across scouting, analytics, training, and development.
He also connects the veteran sell-off to the farm system’s rapid rise, and lays out what still has to happen next, especially finding right-handed offense and more power. If you’re tracking the #STLCards rebuild, this is the big-picture breakdown you’ve been waiting for.

January 30, 2026 The Cardinals Biggest Problem Might FINALLY Be Fixed

January 29, 2026 This Trend Should Scare Cardinals Fans
The MLB Network Top 100 list isn’t just a random list; it’s a flashing red warning light for the Cardinals. Bernie explains why only one Cardinal cracking the list for 2026 is bigger than Iván Herrera vs Brendan Donovan vs Masyn Winn.
In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie looks back at every MLB Network Top 100 list since 2011 and shows how unusual, and alarming, it is to see St. Louis down to one player.
Then he makes the case for why Iván Herrera deserves the nod, using wRC+ and WAR/162, and finishes with what’s actually encouraging: the farm system momentum and the names that could change the story soon.

January 28, 2026 The Brewers Blueprint Is Real, But The Cardinals Can’t Copy This ONE Part
The Brewers have been smarter than the Cardinals for nearly a decade, and it shows in the standings. But if St. Louis copies Milwaukee all the way, they’ll copy the one flaw that keeps the Brewers from finishing the job.
On today’s The Bernie Show, Bernie explains what the Cardinals must steal from the Brewers, where they must be different, and why ownership has to be ready to push chips in when the window opens.

January 27, 2026 Cardinals Power Crisis, Chaim Bloom MUST Find a Young Slugger Now
The Cardinals have a power problem, and it’s not a small one. Bernie lays out the blunt reality: over the last two seasons, St. Louis has lived near the bottom of the NL in homers and slugging, and you can’t keep asking your pitching staff to be perfect just to survive.
This isn’t a “hit more singles” conversation. Bernie explains why Chaim Bloom has to prioritize acquiring a young power bat, ideally in a trade, even if that hitter hasn’t fully exploded yet. Baseball history is full of teams landing future sluggers before the breakout, and the Cardinals need to start taking those swings again.
Bernie also looks at what’s already in-house, from Iván Herrera’s legit thump to the boom-or-bust reality of Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman, plus a few names tied to the Brendan Donovan trade talks.
