The St. Louis Cardinals have promoted 34-year-old Rob Cerfolio to general manager. Cerfolio has been St. Louis' assistant GM for the past three seasons.
The fact that you’re reading my words now likely means you’re a St. Louis Cardinals fan, but are you a writer, too? I ask this very important question because there is now an opportunity for you to combine your fandom with a keyboard and join our team of baseball writers here at Viva El Birdos. […]
Arizona Cardinals get a fourth round pick in exchange for Jacoby Brissett.
34-year-old Rob Cerfolio is the storied franchise's brand new GM.
This reminds me so much of my Strat-o-Matic days
The St. Louis Cardinals have received more post-season honors. Both Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker have been selected as Silver Slugger Award finalists according to MLB.com. MLB announced the full list of Silver Slugger Award finalists. Alec Burleson is a finalist among the first basemen which also includes Jake…
The Arizona Cardinals had to take on some salary to move off of Jacoby Brissett.
Obviously, Masyn Winn and JJ Wetherholt should have been awarded gold gloves in 2026. Who is MLB fooling? they are only fooling themselves and fans who you could barely call baseball aficionados. Ok, they’re not real fanatics, if they are fooled that easily by shiny awards foolishly chosen. Whoever determines the gold…
The Arizona Cardinals are coming up to a big decision for their future.
The Red Sox roster is now down to 40 players, but it took some work getting there. The first player to be designated for assignment was reliever Zack Kelly. That was something of a surprising choice. Kelly has been far from outstanding as he’s bounced between AAA and the Red Sox over the last few […]
The BBWAA Awards Finalists have been announced which includes Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and MVP. The St. Louis Cardinals JJ Wetherholt has been chosen as a finalist for the Rookie of the Year award according to MLB Network. JJ’s 2026 stat line is impressive, but likely would have been greater if not for […]
Bernie Miklasz on the Cardinals’ Future: Insights and Speculations What Randy Flores’ departure means for St. Louis baseball. As the off-season unfolds, the chatter around the St. Louis Cardinals intensifies, especially following the recent news of Randy Flores leaving for the Houston Astros’ General Manager position.…
Last offseason, the Cardinals traded Sonny Gray, creating a hole in their rotation. Through trades, the Cardinals added pitching depth, but the Cardinals clearly wanted them to be pitching depth and not Plan A. So they signed Dustin May to take Gray’s spot. Dustin May didn’t really become an ace, but it was wildly…
The Gold Glove winners for the 2026 season have been announced, but none of the St. Louis Cardinals finalists were chosen. Second baseman JJ Wetherholt, shortstop Masyn Winn and pitcher Michael McGreevy were all finalists for the Gold Glove. Unfortunately, none of them were selected. Here are the National League…
The Arizona Cardinals open as big underdogs ahead of their matchup with the Seahawks.
Happy November! I am writing this after overtaxing my daughter in the dad tax for Halloween so my fingers may be working faster than my brain. Before getting into baseball, it was such a cool experience to see my daughter teach her sister and friends how to Trick-or-Treat. To baseball! Even when using the Dealin’ […]
I am not a fan of hypothetical trades that are completely unrealistic which is why my first instinct when I heard ESPN mention the Cardinals and Tarik Skubal in the same breath was to laugh it off and turn away. However, the more I started to think about the concept of the St. Louis Cardinals […]
Chaim Bloom and company are not expected to shop at the top of the free-agent market this offseason. But Bloom is bound to beckon a bargain-basement, battle-tested big-leaguer to bolster the beleaguered bullpen. So who’s the target? Here’s where I think he looks. There are 82 potential free-agent relievers, according…
Randy Flores drafted Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn for St. Louis. Now the former reliever takes over an Astros team that went 81-81.
We still don’t know how many guys it will take to replace Yadi
The St. Louis Cardinals are set to begin one of the more intriguing off-seasons in recent memory now that the World Series is in the rear view mirror. Important internal roster decisions and an almost certain lockout loom on the near horizon. Here are the important dates on the St. Louis Cardinals front office…
Could the Arizona Cardanls move two veterans before the trade deadline?
Welcome to a new series that I will occasionally run between the free agent profiles and random nonsense: plugging holes in the roster with trades. These trades might be unlikely because the Cardinals won’t pay the price, they may be unlikely because the other team is not actually interested in trading them, or a much…
This week, I set out on a quest to find a bullpen as bad or worse than the 2026 Cardinals bullpen. We all found it aggravating at times, with only a few bright spots if we were paying attention. The closer was an enigma with a lot of saves, and a lot of memorable blown […]
With Halloween just a few days away, it feels very appropriate for the moment to pull this dead body of a Cardinals 2026 roster out and start dissecting what lies beneath the skin. Get your scalpels, bone saws, and retractors out, and let’s dig into what we can find! Offense This past week, we learned […]
So, the Brewers go down to Tampa Bay, with a 2-0 lead. But each game has been only by the smallest of margins. It’s the first time since 2010 that the World Series has opened with a pair of one-run games. There, Texas beat St. Louis 3-2 in the opener, but the roles were reversed […]
Welcome to the latest edition of the Viva El Birdos podcast, where we dive into the journey of baseball’s rising star. This week, we sit down with Jacob Odle, a right-handed pitching prospect with the St. Louis Cardinals who shares his unique experiences leading up to the draft and his current training regimen. A…
Before I get into the meat of this article, I want to be clear that I think this has only a slightly higher chance of happening than the Cardinals signing Tarik Skubal, which is to say I don’t think there’s much of a chance at all. I’m also not necessarily advocating for it, but I […]
The World Series is making its way South with the midwest avian population but my sports focus somehow still centers around the St. Louis Cardinals and football, both fantasy and NFL. Nothing against the Brewers, Rays, or the game of baseball, since I do think this Fall Classic is going to be as fun as […]
