The Cardinals are sitting at .500 and while that may seem like a good thing, the mediocre record puts them at a crossroads to either deal pieces like Sonny Gray, Ryan Helsley, and Nolan Arenado, or add to their exciting young pieces for a playoff run.

The St. Louis Cardinals activated Ivan Herrera from the injured list for Friday's game, and they did so by optioning DH Luken Baker to Memphis. This means the Cardinals are carrying three catchers with Herrera, Pedro Pages, and Yohel Pozo.

Ivan Herrera is close to returning to the Cardinals and Alec Burleson has experienced a recent power surge. The Cardinals have plenty of options to keep each of them in the lineup, but that could trickle down to harm Jordan Walker and others.

The St. Louis Cardinals drafted Jordan Walker in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft, and he rose to become a top-five prospect in all of baseball. Now he looks terrible at the plate, and it's hard to go against the idea that the Cardinals broke him.

Jim Bowden thinks that Ryan Helsley could help the Phillies' bullpen, as the Cardinals could do well with receiving prospect Mick Abel in return.
Scott Plaza|
The St. Louis Cardinals rushed Victor Scott II last year, but he's been excellent at the plate, on the base paths, and in the field in 2025. He looks incredible and is easily their center fielder of the future now.
