The St. Louis Cardinals have 13 days to decide the fate of their 2025 roster, how they'll end the John Mozeliak era, and how they'll begin the Chaim Bloom regime.
With the Cardinals' surprise 51-46 record at this point in the season and sitting just 1.5 games out of the NL Wild Card, the club has an argument to capitalize on that momentum and forgo moving valuable trade pieces to build for the future. On the other hand, most fans and media seem to have a similar view of the club — an impressive showing thus far, but not good enough to pass on building for the future.
