After an up-and-down August, September is offering the Cardinals a chance to find out which young players can be part of their future.

BK and T-Bone react to the promotion of catcher Leo Bernal and what he could bring behind the plate, then dive into Jordan Walker’s breakout season and whether the Cardinals should risk a massive contract extension to lock him up now. 

They also debate how aggressive St. Louis should be this offseason, what role Gordon Graceffo could play in future seasons for the ball club, and why the Cardinals’ offense has been dramatically better on the road than at Busch Stadium.

Plus, who has the inside track at third base for 2027, and can the Cardinals somehow hang around the National League Wild Card race?

After starting the month of August on fire, the Cardinals have taken a turn for the worse, and it happened fast.

BK and T-Bone break down how quickly things have unraveled. They discuss the recent losing streak, injuries exposing the organization’s lack of pitching depth, an overworked bullpen, and the difficult decisions facing the team as it searches for enough innings to finish the season.

Could the Cardinals turn to a veteran stopgap, rely on bullpen games, or give young pitchers such as Cooper Hjerpe an opportunity in the majors? The guys also examine Iván Herrera’s prolonged offensive struggles, whether catching has contributed to his decline, and where he fits into the Cardinals’ long-term plans with several talented prospects on the way.

Another major piece of the Cardinals' core has arrived.

On this week’s Redbird Report, Brandon Kiley and Tanner Hendrickson break down Joshua Baez’s historic start to his Major League career, and the spark that it could bring to the already red-hot Cardinals.

They also discuss Alec Burleson's breakout season and why he is a vital piece of the Cardinals' long-term future, the opportunity for Blaze Jordan at third base, Kyle Leahy’s looming innings limit, the club’s trade deadline decisions, and how Rainiel Rodriguez’s positional versatility could reshape the lineup.

Plus, with six important games against Cincinnati and Philadelphia ahead, BK and T-Bone look at where the Cardinals stand in the Wild Card race and what needs to happen for St. Louis to keep its playoff hopes alive.

The Cardinals sold at the trade deadline — and somehow, they’re right back in the playoff race.

On this episode of the Redbird Report, Brandon Kiley and Tanner Hendrickson break down the Cardinals’ recent surge, what’s driving the offense, and whether this young core can make things interesting down the stretch.

They discuss Alec Burleson’s monster season and whether St. Louis should consider a long-term extension, the impact of Jordan Walker, Iván Herrera, and JJ Wetherholt, the biggest questions surrounding the bullpen, and what upcoming series against the Cubs, Reds, and Phillies could mean for the postseason picture.

Plus, the guys debate how the Cardinals should balance winning now with developing for the future, including how the front office should handle calling up some of its younger players from the minors.

BK and T-Bone are back to break down the Cardinals' 2026 trade deadline. Did the Cardinals fleece the Brewers in the Dustin May/JoJo Romero trade? Did the Cards get enough in return for Lars Nootbaar from Arizona? Did St. Louis miss an opportunity by holding onto some of its controllable bullpen arms? Was there a move at the deadline you wish the Cardinals had made? Plus, what grade does Chaim Bloom deserve for his first trade deadline leading the Cardinals?

The MLB trade deadline is here, and it seems the Cardinals are ready to sell—but how far will they go?

On this week's Redbird Report, Brandon Kiley and Tanner Hendrickson discuss why Dustin May’s time in St. Louis has very likely come to an end, what his value on the trade market may be, the possibility of Lars Nootbaar being moved, moves that would surprise them, and which prospects could receive a major-league opportunity. Could Quinn Mathews or Joshua Baez be next in line?

The Cardinals’ second half is off to a rocky start, so BK and T-Bone debate the question on every Cardinals fan’s mind: What comes next? They break down Hunter Dobbins’ impressive Wednesday night outing, how that affects the already crowded rotation, and the team’s difficult buy-or-sell decision at the trade deadline. Plus, could a surplus at other positions put the Cardinals in a spot to seek out a new starting pitcher? And finally, what happened to the offense we saw earlier in the season?

Is Jordan Walker becoming the superstar the Cardinals have been waiting for? Should St. Louis be looking to sell at the deadline?

BK and T-Bone break it all down on this episode of The Redbird Report. Jordan Walker has not only been named to the All-Star team, but will also participate in the Home Run Derby as he looks to close out his monster first half for the Cardinals. The All-Star has quickly become one of the most exciting young players in baseball.

What does this production mean as the trade deadline approaches? Will the Cardinals look to capitalize on this success and buy in? Or look to the future and sell? If they decide to buy, what should they be looking for? BK and T-Bone talk potential pitching targets and other options on the Redbird Report.

The St. Louis Cardinals' offensive struggles continue. BK & T-Bone break down what's gone wrong at the plate, and whether there's growing concern the Cardinals won't get things turned around before the trade deadline.

Matthew Liberatore's struggles continue. BK & T-Bone discuss whether it's time to pull Libby from the rotation. Who could take his spot in the rotation? What would the plan be with Liberatore? Are we about to go through the same cycle we experienced last year? Are Blaze Jordan & Nathan Church carving out roles for them? What should we watch for in the series against the Marlins & Braves?
