August 01, 2025 Did John Mozeliak BLOW His Final Trade Deadline?
John Mozeliak’s final trade deadline as St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations was… complicated.

He explains how Chaim Bloom’s influence is already showing, why the offseason will be crucial, and what rival executives really think about Mo.

July 31, 2025 Chaim Bloom Just Sent a Message to All St. Louis Cardinals Fans
The Cardinals traded Ryan Helsley to the Mets and Steven Matz to the Red Sox, and Bernie says it’s exactly what needed to happen.

July 29, 2025 Why Iván Herrera in LF Could SAVE the St. Louis Cardinals Offense
The St. Louis Cardinals are moving Iván Herrera to left field, and Bernie Miklasz is all in on the decision.
In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down why this isn’t just a lineup tweak, it’s a long-term solution to a massive problem. With Herrera ranking among the best right-handed hitters in the National League, this move gives St. Louis a much-needed offensive jolt in a position that has been a black hole.
Bernie also dismantles the outdated criticism of bat-first outfielders by invoking names like Yogi Berra, Matt Holliday, and Chris Duncan. If you’re skeptical about Herrera in the outfield, this one’s for you.

July 28, 2025 Why Holding Onto Nolan Arenado Would Be a MASSIVE Mistake
Bernie Miklasz delivers a powerful monologue on why the St. Louis Cardinals must trade Nolan Arenado before the 2025 deadline.
With his bat in sharp decline and two costly years left on his deal, Arenado is no longer a core piece of a winning future in St. Louis. Bernie breaks down the no-trade clause complications, the financial math, and how moving on would clear a path for Nolan Gorman, Brendan Donovan, and top prospect JJ Wetherholt. The big question: will Bill DeWitt Jr. and Arenado let it happen?

In this blistering episode, Bernie Miklasz breaks down how John Mozeliak’s stubbornness, failure to trade Fedde, and refusal to promote Michael McGreevy tanked the team’s playoff hopes.

Bernie compares the Cards to teams like Milwaukee and Tampa Bay and lays out the blueprint to get back on top. Don’t miss this in-depth breakdown.
