Cardinals Offseason Blueprint: Why Alec Bohm Is a Trap & Is Andre Pallante on the Block?
Scott is joined by Redbird Rants writer Thomas Gauvain to break down the offseason roadmap for the St. Louis Cardinals. With payroll room opening up and year two of Chaim Bloom’s organizational vision underway, how should the front office balance rebuilding with actually building a winner for 2027? In this episode, Scott and Thomas take a deep dive into:The Third Base Conundrum: Why spending big money on Alec Bohm would be the wrong move when internal options like Blaze Jordan exist, what Japanese standout Teruaki Sato could offer, and why keeping a path clear for top prospect Jesus Baez matters. Bullpen & Pitching Upgrades: Evaluating last year’s underinvested bullpen, why Matthew Liberatore makes sense transitioning to high-leverage relief, and exploring left-handed strikeout targets like Gregory Soto or Adrian Morejon. The Starting Rotation Crossroads: Is selling high on Andre Pallante via trade the best way to extract maximum value? Plus, targets who could provide stability on multi-year deals—from Michael King and Kris Bubic to Shane Bieber and Patrick Sandoval. Front Office & Coaching Moves: Randy Flores leaving for the Astros GM job, Rob Cerfolio stepping up alongside Chaim Bloom, and what new hitting coach Joel McKeithan (and his Driveline background) brings to Nolan Gorman and the young core.
