On Tuesday morning, the Cardinals made a surprising move by dealing Tommy Pham to the Rays in exchange for Justin Williams, Roel Ramirez, and Genesis Cabrera. The deal was more surprising than it should have, considering he’s been a league-average hitter this season. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that he [...]

As Cardinals continue the roster churn, would anyone be shocked to see a major move in the next three hours? This summer (heck this week) has already made last year’s non-movement an afterthought as the St. Louis front office tweaks the roster for now as well as the future. Daniel gave us a parting gift [...]
As I knew would happen, I was finishing up taking my son to the orthodontist this morning when the first (only?) trade news broke. Tommy Pham had been dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays and Chris Archer wasn’t coming back to complete the deal. So, being that this news is only 30 minutes old, let [...]
REDBIRDS ACQUIRE OUTFIELDER & TWO PITCHERS FOR TOMMY PHAM & INT. CAP SPACE ST. LOUIS, MO – July 31, 2018–The St. Louis Cardinals announced this morning a four-player trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, acquiring outfielder Justin Williams, left-handed pitcher Genesis Cabrera and right-handed pitcher Roel Ramirez in exchange for outfielder Tommy Pham and International Cap Space. Williams, 22, is a left-handed [...]
One of the hallmarks of the 2018 St. Louis Cardinals, at least at times, has been this feeling that once they got down, especially in the latter part of the game, they weren’t going to come back. Oh, they might put up some sort of late rally, but it would be against the fourth- or [...]

Late Saturday night, the Cardinals gave fans the team’s first — and hopefully not last — trade for a Major League player in this deadline period. In a continuation of the weekend’s major bullpen overhaul, the Cardinals acquired LHP Chasen Shreve and RHP Giovanny Gallegos from the New York Yankees in exchange for Luke Voit [...]
There are busy weekends and then there is what the Cardinals did this weekend. Busy didn’t really begin to describe it. We’ll have to wait and see if successful does. There’s so much to talk about since our last get-together, so let’s just take it in order. We’ll mix in the moves and the games. [...]
