Why Keeping Nolan Arenado Would Be a DISASTER for the Cardinals
Oli Marmol claims it wouldn't be awkward if Nolan Arenado returns to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2026, but the roster math tells a different story. Bernie Miklasz breaks down why retaining Arenado creates an impossible logjam for young talent like JJ Wetherholt and explains how the manager's refusal to rest injured veterans has backfired.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
* The Arenado Dilemma: Why Marmol is wrong about the "awkwardness" of Arenado returning after his farewell gestures in 2025.
* Roster Congestion: How keeping Arenado blocks playing time for JJ Wetherholt, Thomas Saggese, and Nolan Gorman.
* Trade Scenarios: Why trading Brendan Donovan seems more likely than moving Gorman right now.
* Marmol’s Management: A critical look at how playing through injuries hurt the stats and trade value of both Arenado and Donovan.
* Army-Navy Game: Bernie breaks down the matchup and gives his "Bernie Guarantee" pick for the big game.
