Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals took a step forward today by claiming right-hander Chase Hampton off waivers from the Nationals, adding another piece to a roster that is gradually being reshaped under new leadership. As they continue to mold their future, the emergence of minor league All-Stars Joshua Baez and Quinn Mathews highlights the bright spots on the horizon. Manager Oli Marmol, reflecting on his early days, noted how former star Paul Goldschmidt’s insights helped him connect with younger players, a sentiment that resonates as the Cardinals focus on developing talent. While the season is officially over, there’s a sense that the 2026 campaign, despite being fraught with ups and downs, was a success in laying the groundwork for what’s to come. Cardinals Nation should embrace the optimism as the team aims to rise from a disappointing past.

Washington designated Hampton for assignment Saturday, just two weeks after claiming him off waivers from the Yankees. Hampton just turned 25 last month.

Bloom still sets Cardinals' sights on long-term goals as core takes shape
ST. LOUIS -- A year ago, on the heels of a 78-84 campaign, as Cardinals Nation acclimated to a long-anticipated shift in the leadership of the baseball operations department, Chaim Bloom told fans what was coming. A winter sell-off saw the payroll evaporate as mainstay contributors were subtracted from the

The season is over! That means it’s time to react to and grade performances from the season! When handing out grades, it seemed appropriate to bring in a professional.

The St. Louis Cardinals season was a success
The 2026 season is officially over. Overall, I’d call the season a success, although it sure doesn’t feel that way. If the Cardinals had the same exact W-L total, but went 15-9 instead of 9-15 in September, I feel like the vibes would be much different. From ownership’s standpoint, they are probably happy it went […]
