Below is a curated list of 2026 MLB debuts who retain rookie status for 2027 because they did not exceed 45 days of active service This means they will be eligible for the 2027 Prospect Handbook and Prospect Promotion Incentive eligibility, if that is included in the next CBA

A Cubs loss tonight means they won’t be playing in October?

“Today, sir, we’re all Padres fans.”

Chaim Bloom and the #STLCards have a long to-do list this winter. Here are the 10 biggest questions they need to try to answer, starting with "How do we fix the bullpen?" stlsportspage.com/2026/09/29…

Per @dgoold: Jordan Walker was playing through hip pain, discomfort and some limitations as a result in the closing weeks of the season, Chaim Bloom confirmed. stltoday.com/sports/professi…

Very happy he had some success out in the desert.

Congratulations to Rainiel Rodriguez (C-First Team), Sandro Santana (RP-First Team) & OF Josiah Ragsdale (OF-Second Team) on being selected to the All-MiLB Prospect Team!

A first impression they won’t soon forget 👏 A record 16 players hit home runs in their Major League debuts in 2026!

helllooooo my friends, programming note you can listen to every single postseason game, home or away, on @MLBNetworkRadio in the car and the @SiriusXMSports app! Channel 89 AND We'll be covering the ALCS/NLCS and World Series on-site❤️‍🔥

I was thinking it was going to be a good deal if there was a post once a week. Instead, it felt like it was daily. Lot of great stuff here and I am sure the winter will be the same (if maybe not as frequent).

Twice on Monday, Chaim Bloom referred to this as a "dangerous" time for the Cardinals. In the immediate aftermath of a year which saw more competitive success than many anticipated, their commitment to their process is rock solid -- even as they plan to add from outside:

Everyone's cutting back these days.

I’m told by the estimable @JoeRoderick that @STLSprtsCntrl will be carrying the presser live.

Hello from Busch, where there is one chair and one microphone set up for Chaim Bloom for today’s press conference. So it appears no word from ownership today (though that wasn’t expected) and no GM announcement (or at least not with availability).

It took them 25 years but they finally got Hampton.

Cardinals claimed RHP Chase Hampton off waivers from the Nats. 40-man goes to 39. They also reinstated the whole IL other than Rajcic, which is procedural, but keeps a spot open for now since he’s on the 60.

2026 brought a lot of things. What it didn't bring is a #stlcards writer at @TheAthletic. Do better in 2027.

List of #stlcards prospects needing 40-man roster protection this winter for the first time: Grayson Tarlow Trey Paige Dakota Harris Colton Ledbetter Chase Davis Ixan Henderson Skylar Hales Tre Richardson III Jesus Baez Won-Bin Cho Travis Honeyman Zach Levenson Chen-Wei Lin Christian Worley Tyler Bradt Sammy Hernandez Yordalin Pena Leonel Sequera Jacob Odle Nelfy Ynfante Jonathan Mejia Yadiel Batista

Jordan Walker, Cardinals nominee for the Clemente Award, has a charity Walkers Winners. Some of us donated after his HR Derby, and now after the season I’ve donated $29 for each HR. Join me and make his great year have an even greater impact walkerswinners.org/donate-no…

Going to miss this routine.
