February 07, 2026 How the St. Louis Cardinals can make the most of an unsettling 2026 | Cards Central 365
The 2026 St. Louis Cardinals season is going to feel weird: star players traded, a full-on Chaim Bloom rebuild, and a fanbase that isn’t used to “wait and see.” In this episode, we break down how Cardinals fans can survive, perhaps enjoy, an unsettling 2026.
We’ll cover:
What Chaim Bloom’s blueprint really means for the Cardinals’ future
Which young players (Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, Nolan Gorman, Iván Herrera, JJ Wetherholt, and more) are worth locking in on this year
Why 2026 draft position, payroll flexibility, and prospect development might matter more than the final record
What a “successful” 2026 looks like for St. Louis, even if the standings don’t
If you’re a frustrated Cardinals fan trying to make sense of this season, this episode is for you.

February 06, 2026 The WBC Might Change Spring Training, Here’s Who It Hits for St. Louis | Cards Central 365
The WBC rosters just dropped, and the Cardinals’ situation is way more interesting than “who made it.” The biggest clue is what St. Louis clearly does not want Iván Herrera doing on the world stage.
Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down every Cardinals player headed to the World Baseball Classic, why the total is way lower than 2023, and how MLB teams manage pitch limits and spring training ramps when WBC intensity kicks in.
They also get into the insurance issues thinning out Puerto Rico’s roster, Team USA surprises, and what it all could mean for the Cardinals once camp gets rolling.

February 05, 2026 NL Central Power Rankings, The Cardinals Problem Nobody Wants to Say Out Loud | Cards Central 365
The Reds just made a real move, the Cubs look loaded, and the Brewers keep refusing to die. So where does that leave the Cardinals, fighting for third, or just trying not to finish last?
On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer power-rank the NL Central heading into spring training, react to Cincinnati adding Eugenio Suárez, and lay out what would have to go right for the Cardinals to climb into the 77 to 78 win range.
They also explain why Milwaukee’s “trade guys and still win” model keeps working, and why the Reds’ pitching could be the biggest swing factor in the whole division.

February 04, 2026 The Cardinals Farm System Just Skyrocketed | Cards Central 365
The Cardinals just got one of their biggest national farm system compliments in years, and it changes the way you should view the rebuild. Baseball America has St. Louis ranked No. 2, and the names driving it are not just the ones you already know.

Brenden Schaeffer and Ryan Fagan break down why the Cardinals jumped in the rankings, what it says about Chaim Bloom’s direction, and how depth matters when you’re trying to turn veterans into real prospect value.

They dive into JJ Wetherholt’s ceiling, why Liam Doyle matters so much in a rebuild built around arms, and the rising intrigue around a young catching prospect who keeps climbing lists.

Plus, the biggest pitching question for 2026, what Quinn Mathews needs to be if the Cardinals want to move the timeline up sooner than expected

February 03, 2026 What the Donovan Trade Says About Bloom’s Cardinals | Cards Central 365
In moving Brendan Donovan, the St. Louis Cardinals reshaped their next two years in one swing. The biggest twist is how they plan to handle switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje, and what that says about the organization’s new direction.

In this episode of Cards Central 365, Brenden Schaeffer and Hunter Mulholland react to the three-team deal with the Seattle Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays, break down the upside plays in the return (including Tai Peete), and explain why the draft pick haul matters more than it sounds at first.

They also dig into Bloom’s tone and messaging, and why that part actually matters if the Cardinals are trying to win fans back while committing to a real rebuild.

February 02, 2026 THIS Is Why The Donovan Talk Just Got Serious | Cards Central 365
The St. Louis Cardinals aren’t just “listening” on Brendan Donovan anymore, the noise around this has officially turned into real leverage and real deadlines. If a deal is getting done, this is the window where teams start showing their hand.
In this episode of Cards Central 365, we break down why the Seattle Mariners keep popping up as the cleanest match, what St. Louis has to demand in return (and what they absolutely cannot accept), and why the Cardinals don’t need to panic just because the trade chatter is loud.
Plus, the biggest off-field development, the Cardinals announced Cardinals TV for 2026, with pricing at $99.99 for the season or $19.99 monthly, which changes how a lot of fans will watch and how the business side moves going forward.
