I myself am well adjusted to reality. As well as I can be.An Old Friend wrote: ↑27 Aug 2025 11:05 amThere is no plan to contend in 2026. If you’re hoping to hear one, you may need to recalibrateimadangman wrote: ↑27 Aug 2025 10:03 am Remember when Cardly wanted the Cards to sign Trevor Story. We all told him he was = to Paul DeJong outside of Coors Field and he just couldn't believe it. And now in his 4th season with Boston (with a lot of games missed) Story has a very PDJ-like .244/.300/.412 batting line.
Cardly is the quintessential shiny object poster where the shiny object always has to be some well-known (and likely declining and overpaid) name from another team that he knows nothing about other than the player's name and that they are "established"
I'd be curious what his plan is to contend for 2026. Where is he getting his #3 hitter, #4 hitter, and #2 starter?

Re: Bloomer Speak
My OP was intended to simply be a summary of what the forecast likely will be for the next few for the Cards.
It is interesting and annoying to read the responses from the "hired minions" on this thread. Goodness! If we were in the same room I would hope for better respect of differing opinions... name calling? Childish!
I sincerely believe that most of Cardinals Nation is not a huge fan of this poorly constructed and communicated rebuild. It is one this to modestly tank but a proud franchise like this should never be this rotten this long!
Please consider selling the team Billy D! You had a fantastic run and for that we are glad. It's time to move on.

Hunter Renfroe? Gimme a break.dugoutrex wrote: ↑27 Aug 2025 11:02 am The Bad Trades
1) Mookie Betts and David Price and cash for Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong and Jeter Downs
It’s a given that this trade was forced upon Bloom by ownership and he was merely carrying out orders. But he failed to get enough back for a generational player. Verdugo has been only slightly better than average while Wong is an adequate major league catcher. Downs flopped and is out of the organization. Fairly or not, this deal will go down as the most memorable of his tenure in Boston — and Bloom failed to maximize the return.
2) Traded Hunter Renfroe for Jackie Bradley Jr., David Hamilton and Alex Binelas
A disaster, no matter which way you cut it. While Renfroe was overrated by many, Bradley was essentially done when he was reacquired. Hamilton would seem to be a 4A player at best with speed and not much else to recommend about his game. Binelas is a fringy minor leaguer who is unlikely to contribute much — if anything — at the major league level.
3) Traded Jeffrey Springs and Chris Mazza for Ronaldo Hernandez and Nick Sogard
Bloom obtained Springs for Sam Travis in a deal with the Rangers and should have stopped there. Instead, he then turned around and packaged him for a catcher who hasn’t gotten out of Triple A after three seasons and a minor league utility player. The irony was that Bloom was supposed to be the one acquiring unheralded pitching prospects and developing them, not giving them away.
The Springs trade, the other hand, was, yeah...a whiff of Mozeliakian proportions.
