In today’s Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz breaks down why John Mozeliak’s final season as Cardinals president of baseball operations is going far better than expected.

From preseason pessimism to a current Wild Card position, Bernie examines how the “runway season” plan is working and why Mo’s collaboration with Chaim Bloom has the Cardinals set up for future success. He also discusses trade deadline possibilities, young player development, and how this underdog team is winning with smarts, not payroll.
