On Lucas' last show, he and JD discuss how the Cardinals can win the trade deadline by targeting pitching, All signs point toward an improvement of the rotation coming.

What does DeJong's call up mean for the Cardinals moving towards the deadline? Molina got hit in the write at AAA Memphis last night, and it did not look pretty.To close the show, it's a preview of the Washington Nationals series.

The St. Louis Cardinals were able to rebound last night, beating the Blue Jays 6-1 in Toronto. Adam Wainwright and Albert Pujols turned in vintage performances, Wainwright going seven strong and Pujols turning in a three-hit performance with a home run. JD and Lucas discuss how the veterans led the charge.Meanwhile in New York, the first trade piece has fallen as the Yankees traded for Andrew Benintendi. How does this affect the Juan Soto trade market? (If at all)WANT MORE DAILY ST. LOUIS CARDINALS CONTENT?Follow & Subscribe to the Podcast on these platforms…

In a 10-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last night, the need for pitching on this team came front and center. The St. Louis Cardinals are having a bad July, and a large part of that is the inability to get outs from the rotation. Last night, Andre Pallante was not super effective and he was followed by less-than-spectacular performances from Jordan Hicks and Junior Fernandez. Everyone is talking about Juan Soto, and rightfully so, but there is no denying that this team needs pitching in a bad way.JD and Lucas take a deep dive into the starting pitching market and look at who's realistically available for St. Louis. Lucas likes the intangibles of a Madison Bumgarner acquisition while JD really wants Pablo Lopez in a Cardinal uniform. With the way the market is shaping up, it's clear that the Cardinals are going to have to make multiple trades for arms to have what is considered a successful deadline.Segment three is a Juan Soto update as new reports are coming in as to what a return package could look like fro

With more and more Juan Soto reports coming in, we take a lot of time in today's show to answer your questions on Soto and the Cardinals! Questions were submitted via Twitter and Instagram, and they range from who the Cardinals might be sending to Washington to would we rather the Cardinals go for pitching. It's hard to ignore a name and a talent like Soto, but the need for pitching on this team has us thinking twice.Also, the Cardinals are north of the border for a two game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto is throwing their aces, while the Cardinals are without their two stars. How will St. Louis fare in the quick trip?To finish out the show, Lucas and JD discuss how more detailed reports are linking the Cardinals to Juan Soto, and what a deal might mean long term for St. Louis.WANT MORE DAILY ST.

Not only did the St, Louis Cardinals lost two of three games over the weekend, but they also lost Steven Matz to injury (again). Matz was cruising against the Reds on Saturday before tearing his MCL in an attempt to field a ground ball. It was never a secret that the Cardinals need pitching, but does this loss steer them in a direction away from Juan Soto and towards picking up a few arms at the deadline?Also, with no Paul Goldschmidt or Nolan Arenado in Toronto, who needs to step up for the Cardinal offense?WANT MORE DAILY ST.

The St. Louis Cardinals return to action TONIGHT against the Cincinnati Reds. When looking at the first half, do you look at it as a disappointment for the Cardinals or a success?

Juan Soto is the talk of baseball right now. He recently turned down a $440 million contract and the reports are that the Nationals are entertaining the thought of trading hime. Whether you believe it or not, there are many reports that the Cardinals are willing to make an offer (who wouldn't be?). Soto is going to demand a hefty package, one full of major league players and highly touted prospects. Another wrinkle? Patrick Corbin will likely be coming with Soto, as the Nationals are looking to off-load that contract.JD and Lucas break down the value Corbin and Soto bring, discuss assets the Cardinals have, and discuss specific trade packages that the Cardinals could send. This is a complicated topic with many layers, but the truth remains: Juan Soto makes this team better in 2022.WANT MORE DAILY ST.

Nobody wants to disappoint when playing in the Midsummer Classic. The Cardinals did NOT disappoint when representing the city of St. Louis in LA. Paul Goldschmidt cranked a solo shot in the first and Ryan Helsley struck out two - and showcased 103 mph - in his scoreless inning of work. While Goldy should've played more and Pujols could have gotten a better send off, St. Louis should be proud of its All-Stars.We know not every All Star Game can be a good game, and after the first four innings there was little happening last night. JD and Lucas share their favorite moments from last night, as well as some possible changed they'd like to see to the game and how it's played.WANT MORE DAILY ST.

Albert Pujols advanced out of the first round of his final Home Run Derby, falling to the eventual champion Juan Soto in the semifinals. His one-minute swing-off was arguably the best minute of the Derby. What was made clear was the amount of respect and admiration the rest of the league has for him.We hope he gets his moment tonight in the All-Star Game as well. It remains to be seen how he, Miles Mikolas or Ryan Helsley will be used off the bench/out of the bullpen tonight. Will the Cardinals show out in LA?Also, the Cardinals have some pretty decent odds to land the Juan Soto sweepstakes if he's traded in season (No, Really).WANT MORE DAILY ST.

The Machine is appearing in his final Home Run Derby tonight. While Albert Pujols is the oldest competitor with the least amount of home runs this season, he can still put on a show for the fans. He's facing off with Kyle Schwarber in the first round, so it will not be an easy feat. JD and Lucas share their thoughts on what to expect from Pujols.Despite game three being postponed, the Cardinals dominated over the weekend. We saw Paul Goldschmidt hit his 300th career home run, Tommy Edman prove he's a catalyst for this offense and the offense as a hole take advantage of the Reds' bullpen.Also, the MLB draft is this week and the Cardinals already have a theme going with they're first few picks.WANT MORE DAILY ST.
