In today’s episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz proposes a bold deadline move: the St. Louis Cardinals should trade Lars Nootbaar.

He breaks down why Nootbaar’s value is at a crossroads, why his production doesn’t match his hype, and how Nathan Church’s breakout is making him expendable.

Bernie also names multiple contenders that need a player like Nootbaar and explains how John Mozeliak’s risk-averse style has held the Cardinals back. It’s time for action, not talk.
