THE REDBIRD REVIEW As part of their offseason approach, I assume the Cardinals will look to make a trade for a starting pitcher who is more than just a depth guy. This endeavor — while mandatory and worthy — could cause considerable discomfort for...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW It’s report-card day. Let’s review individual Cardinals and their performance in the 2023 season. I’ll write one paragraph on each player and issue a letter grade. This team had a historically terrible season, but there were some good performances...
