The Cardinals Have To Right The Ship Internally, There's No Outside Savior

The St. Louis Cardinals’ slow start is the most overlooked part of the young 2019 Major League Baseball season. They’re 24-23, in fourth place in the National League Central, are playing with inconsistency, and have come nowhere near meeting spring training expectations — which were, at the very least, making the playoffs.

Spotlight On Daniel Castano

I have heard a lot of my “baseball friends” here in southern Alabama complain that the Miami Marlins sold off their assets for nothing. They just don’t know what to look for. And also they like the Mets, or the Yankees, or the (shudder) Braves.
