Breaking down the St. Louis Cardinals Roster
Roster Breakdown for Opening Day
Jose Fermin was initially told he made the roster but was ultimately left off, which raised questions about possible last-minute changes in decisions.
Starting Rotation & Pitching Decisions
Matthew Liberatore being named to the rotation was a significant surprise, especially with Steven Matz moving to the bullpen.
Michael McGreevy had a strong spring but will start in Memphis, likely due to roster constraints.
Miles Mikolas’ performance in the first few weeks may determine his long-term role, as the team has young pitchers waiting for opportunities.
Bullpen moves were expected, with Roycroft and Leahy making the team, while Nick Anderson went unclaimed and will start in Memphis.
Bench Construction & Position Players
Masyn Winn is expected to play 162 games at shortstop, making a true backup middle infielder unnecessary.
Luken Baker earned a roster spot as a right-handed bench bat.
Looking Ahead
Lineup construction discussions will continue, including the leadoff role, with candidates like Masyn Winn, Victor Scott, Lars Nootbaar, and Brendan Donovan.
Tribute to Brian McKenna
- The episode closed with a heartfelt tribute to Brian McKenna, a well-known St. Louis radio personality who was tragically killed. Both hosts shared memories of his positivity and impact.
