    St. Louis Cardinals TRADE a Reliever But It's NOT The One Most Expected It To Be!

    St. Louis Cardinals swap promising relievers and spark debate with Andre Granillo heading to the Washington Nationals for George Soriano, a hard-throwing but homer-prone righty. With JoJo Romero’s rumored trade still looming, fans are left questioning the team’s bullpen strategy and Haim Bloom’s master plan for the roster. JD Hafron spotlights the crowded competition as pitchers and catchers report for spring training, breaking down potential rotation surprises like Matthew Liberatore and Andre Pallante and examining which non-roster invitees—Packy Naughton, Zack Thompson, and rising prospect Luis Gastelum—could make a splash. The episode also covers MLB news including Justin Verlander’s Tigers return, José Quintana’s puzzling Rockies deal, and another wave of hamate bone injuries hitting stars like Corbin Carroll. 00:00 Cardinals-Nationals Trade Breakdown 08:02 Pitchers & Catchers Preview 23:32 MLB News & Hamate Injuries Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-st-louis-cardinals/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/ Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  4. Is the St. Louis Cardinals' RH Hitter Search Over After Bryan Ramos? What About Nick Castellanos?

    3D AGO

    Is the St. Louis Cardinals' RH Hitter Search Over After Bryan Ramos? What About Nick Castellanos?

    St. Louis Cardinals fans wonder: is Bryan Ramos the right-handed power bat the team needs, or just another developmental gamble? JD Hafron breaks down the Cardinals’ latest acquisition, Ramos, analyzing his prospects and what this move signals about the club’s youth-focused rebuild. The conversation heats up with trade rumors involving Nick Castellanos—could the veteran slugger be a low-cost fit, or would his declining defense and big personality clash with the Cards’ direction? Ramos’ upside, Castellanos’ walk-year intrigue, and Randal Grichuk’s potential return all take center stage. Switching gears, JD Hafron spotlights former Cardinals on the move—Marcell Ozuna heads to the Pirates and Eric Fedde returns to the White Sox—reflecting on trades that backfired for St. Louis. MLB buzz continues with the Milwaukee Brewers landing pitching prospect Kyle Harrison in a major swap with the Boston Red Sox.
