The stats are brutal, the road splits are worse, and the franchise has moved on. With Chaim Bloom reshaping the St. Louis Cardinals, this episode lays out why a Mikolas reunion is a non-starter and what a sensible pitching plan looks like instead: short-term bargains, depth buys, possible trades for controllable arms, and selective looks at Japan and the KBO.

He also discusses why leaning on “innings eater” narratives and clubhouse quotes misses the point in 2026.
