28 minutes

As the All-Star break arrives, the Cardinals sit at 51–46, better than expected, but far from elite. Bernie breaks down why the record might be deceiving, details nine key concerns about the team’s playoff chances, and delivers a firm warning to John Mozeliak: act now at the trade deadline, or risk squandering the team’s future.

From injury myths to a failing rotation to a possible Helsley or Maton trade, Bernie covers it all.🔥 Get your first month free at BlueChew with code ‘BERNIE’ https://bluechew.com👑 Presented by DraftKings.
