Bernie digs into the uncomfortable question of the week: Is this Nolan Arenado’s final homestand as a St. Louis Cardinal?

Bernie breaks down why the St. Louis Cardinals squandered 2025 (and 2024), how half-measures kept the club “stuck in the middle,” and why a real rebuild can’t wait.
From the non-moves last winter and a subtract-at-the-deadline mindset to muddled “runway” messaging, Bernie walks through who progressed (Burleson, Libby), who regressed (Walker, Pagés’ defense), who was blocked (McGreevy, Baker), and why playing time decisions undercut the whole “audition season.” He closes with what has to change under Chaim Bloom and what fans should demand next.👑 Presented by DraftKings.
