[COMT] Can the Cardinals ruin the Cubs season already? Series Preview

Should the Cardinals BUY or SELL? Chaim Bloom’s Deadline Plan & Ranking Trade Candidates

Should the St. Louis Cardinals buy or sell at the 2026 MLB trade deadline? Porque no los dos? On this episode of Cardinals on My Time, host Scott Plaza is joined by Caleb Noble (Hard Nine Podcast), AJ Stone (Just Baseball Media), and Matthew Blaker to tackle the messiest trade deadline in recent memory. The guys dive deep into the recent front-office transition to Bill DeWitt III, Chaim Bloom's telling press conference comments, and whether "just getting into the postseason" is enough for this young core. Then, they play a high-stakes game of "Confidence Out of 10" on which players are good as gone by late July. On the chopping block: * Will the Cardinals capitalize on Dustin May's insane trade value? * Is it time to pull the trigger on a Lars Nootbaar or Nolan Gorman trade? * Why Andre Pallante might be the ultimate "sell-high" candidate. * Plus, surprise targets like Royce Lewis and the future of the "Tarps Off" fan section at Busch Stadium.

[COMT] Chaim Bloom's Masterclass: Why This Cardinals Rebuild is Actually Fun (feat. Jandy)

The St. Louis Cardinals are officially entering the 100-game countdown, and the vibes around Busch Stadium are shifting fast! In this episode of Cardinals on My Time, Scott Plaza is joined by the undisputed king of Cardinals Twitter vibes, Jandy (@JandySTL). We break down the electric 10-run comeback against the Cincinnati Reds, the massive return of Lars Nootbaar ("Unk") to the lineup, and whether his presence transforms the clubhouse culture. Plus, we tackle the upcoming MLB Trade Deadline: Should Chaim Bloom stand pat, buy bullpen depth, or pull off a shocking "retool" by trading away guys like Dustin May and Nootbaar for high-end prospects? We also dive deep into Jordan Walker’s incredible 180-degree turnaround, JJ Wetherholt's Rookie of the Year trajectory, and why keeping the petty rivalry alive with Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs is essential for the fan base. 👉 SUBSCRIBE for more St. Louis Cardinals news, rumors, and post-game analysis! 👉 Follow Jandy on X: @JandySTL Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & The "Tarps Off" Experience 2:00 - Cardinals Twitter Culture & Hating the Cubs 7:30 - The 100-Game Countdown: Resetting Expectations 11:15 - Lars Nootbaar's Return & The Trade Deadline Dilemma 18:00 - Fixing the Pitching Staff: Dustin May, Leahy, & McGreevy 21:30 - Dream Deadline: Retool vs. Tearing It Down 24:00 - What Makes a "Successful" 2026 Season? 27:00 - Lockout Fears & Final Good Vibes
