We're on to '26

Post by JohnTudor1985 »

Six new prospects added to system, and Chaim Bloom is now effectively the POBO going forward.

Cards will play out the season; currently tied for 12th in losses. Maybe a top ten draft pick will be added to JJ and Doyle as the foundation?

Cards have only three players (Gray, Arenado and Contreras) under contract for a total of $69m in 2026.

There should be significant clarity this off-season. Veterans' contracts? Position redundancy? Payroll commitment going forward?

Lots of changes coming this winter...

MLB rules limit the Cards to no better than the tenth pick. Unfortunately there are worse teams with similar restrictions. They will effectively draft no better than #12.
