January 20, 2026 Stop Being Cautious, The Cardinals Finally Have a REAL Star!
The Cardinals have been bleeding fans at Busch, and Bernie says the solution is staring them in the face: J.J. Wetherholt. If St. Louis wants buzz, ticket sales, and a real centerpiece for the rebuild, stop acting weird and market the kid like the star he is.
On this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down why Wetherholt is ready right now, why the Cardinals should commit to him on Opening Day, and why comparing him to past “can’t-miss” disappointments is flat-out lazy.

January 19, 2026 Cardinals Ownership Future Explained, DeWitts, Bloom, and the Rebuild
The DeWitt family says they are staying put as Cardinals owners, and Bernie Miklasz is not apologizing for defending their track record. In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie lays out why judging 30 years of ownership based on the last three seasons is lazy, emotional, and flat-out wrong.
Bernie breaks down the numbers, the championships, the payroll realities, and the rebuild under Chaim Bloom, while also calling out where ownership absolutely failed and waited too long to act.

January 16, 2026 Why the Cardinals Can’t Compete With the Dodgers Anymore
The Dodgers just handed Kyle Tucker a massive $240 million contract, and Bernie Miklasz explains why that move highlights a brutal reality for the St. Louis Cardinals. This isn’t about envy, it’s about economics, competitive balance, and how far apart MLB franchises truly are.
As the Cardinals rebuild under Chaim Bloom, Bernie breaks down whether St. Louis can realistically compete with payroll giants like the Dodgers and Mets, what declining attendance means for ownership, and why a salary cap battle is looming.

January 15, 2026 Is 2026 Nolan Gorman’s Last Chance with the Cardinals?
The Cardinals are officially rebuilding, and that makes 2026 a defining year for Nolan Gorman. With Nolan Arenado gone, the door is open, but Gorman must finally prove he belongs.
Bernie breaks down why 2026 is truly make or break for Gorman, how the Cardinals’ lack of power complicates the decision, and why patience might still pay off during a full-scale rebuild led by Chaim Bloom.

January 14, 2026 How Chaim Bloom Reset the Cardinals Future in One Offseason
The Cardinals have done something almost unheard of in modern baseball.
They have no guaranteed contracts beyond 2026, and that changes everything.
In today’s episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz explains why Chaim Bloom’s teardown created a blank canvas for the Cardinals, why paying $59 million to move veteran contracts was smart business, and how this level of payroll flexibility could accelerate the rebuild instead of dragging it out.

The Nolan Arenado era in St. Louis is officially over, and the Cardinals have finally made their most defining move of the rebuild. Bernie Miklasz breaks down why this trade had to happen, why the return never mattered, and what it tells us about the future direction under Chaim Bloom.

He also lays out the Cardinals’ tentative infield plans for 2026, evaluates Brendan Donovan’s trade value, and gives a final verdict on the Goldschmidt–Arenado era in St. Louis.

January 12, 2026 Cubs Sign Alex Bregman: What It Means for Cardinals Trade Plans
The Cubs just landed Alex Bregman, and it is already sending shockwaves through the NL Central. The real question is whether this move changes the trade market for the Cardinals, especially Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado.

The Cardinals’ TV situation is unraveling at the worst possible time. As attendance drops, payroll shrinks, and the rebuild takes hold, broadcast uncertainty has become another major problem the franchise must solve.
