Ep. 718: Arenado return intensifies lineup squeeze — so who gets bumped? Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the lineup squeeze that intensifies with the return of Nolan Arenado to the Cardinals. How can the Cardinals manage to prioritize all of these young players at once, and who get prioritized over another?

The push-pull between whether St. Louis will lean defense-first or maximize offense is at the center of this conversation. And it's a discussion, as Oli Marmol told me on Saturday, that will need to involve the front office to a real extent before any direction is determined.

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer opens Season 5 of B-Schaeff Daily discussing the breaking news of the Red Sox signing Alex Bregman.

This absolutely makes it possible the Cardinals cannot find a home for Nolan Arenado, but Brenden still thinks a move could happen soon -- and Bregman being done at least clarifies the remaining suitors.

Ep. 713: THIS IS NOT A DRILL! The Cardinals made a trade! Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

While it's not the trade everybody has been anticipating all winter, the Cardinals did get on the board with an actual trade for a player that was added to the 40-man roster on Thursday, as St. Louis acquired utility man Michael Helman from the Twins.

What are the implications of this trade, why did the Cardinals feel the need to make it, and what do we make of Michael Helman and his potential role on the team in 2025? Could Jose Fermin and Thomas Saggese be impacted by the acquisition?

Ep. 712: Even the Pirates are outspending the Cardinals! Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly signing former Cardinal outfielder Tommy Pham to a one-year deal. The Minnesota Twins have landed Harrison Bader on a short contract, too.

The St. Louis Cardinals remain the one team out in the cold who hasn't done a single thing when it comes to notable trades or acquisitions. Plus, is Scott Boras the best agent for players outside of the Juan Soto tier of free agency?

Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso may be new examples of the problem of that dynamic.
