ESPN says the Cardinals are the least interesting team to watch for 2026.
The team likely finishes dead last in NLC.
Is Bloom setting Boston up for a WS run?
We are giving them our best and paying them to do so.
LOL, maybe he's still working for Boston after all.

None of what they are doing is about 2026.

Well, you're getting what you wanted.
I hope this works, but we won't know until at least 2028.

Of course, he isn't finished yet.

It's necessary. They have not been successful for a decade doing what they were doing - trying to limp along, sneak into the playoffs and hope for the best. So they need a different approach.

I'm not promising that this will work by 2028, 2029, etc. But there is no course they could take which will guarantee success either.
