Spooky: The 2026 St. Louis Cardinals Autopsy

The season's over, so Nate and Ben grab the scalpel and perform the 2026 autopsy. They walk the final rankings — a middle-of-the-pack offense, a rotation that punched above its weight, a bullpen that gave it all back, and a top-ten defense that held the whole thing together — and ask why a team that won fewer games than last year somehow feels like a success.

Plus the 2027 holes and a Jazz Chisholm pitch, favorite moments from Josh Baez's debut to Jordan Walker's Home Run Derby, playoff picks, and the season finale of Draft Day: Heroes & Hatchlings.
