The St. Louis Cardinals have been unable to make trades this offseason, and while the reasons are complicated for why they haven't, each of them are ultimately due to decisions the Cardinals made prior.

Recent moves like Andrew Kittredge come to mind but Matt Holliday and Yadier Molina also signed big contracts in January.

Masyn Winn is a future star who had a phenomenal 2024 season but the shortstop position is flush with talent around the MLB. He was not named to MLB Network's top 10 shortstops, and while there is debate over that, it does show how much work is ahead.

Joe Mauer was a first ballot Hall of Fame catcher. Other catchers of Yadier Molina's era like Russell Martin and Brian McCann were off after just one year. What does this mean for the former St. Louis Cardinal Yadi?

Chaim Bloom is not at the Winter Warm-Ups for the St. Louis Cardinals, which isn't a good look for the team that he's about to take over.

The St. Louis Cardinals have four free agents remaining this offseason in Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, Matt Carpenter, and Keynan Middleton. I believe that Carpenter will retire, Middleton will return to St. Louis, and the other two will find new homes.

The St. Louis Cardinals had three of their top prospects named to Baseball America's top 100 prospects, which were SS JJ Wetherholt, LHP Quinn Mathews, and RHP Tink Hence.

The St. Louis Cardinals need to hope that their minor league system has gotten up to snuff given their unwillingness to adapt to the market.

Oli Marmol has been a polarizing manager to fans during his time with the Cardinals, but he is optimistic that 2025 is not all doom and gloom.

The Cardinals may have to trade some pitchers. This could leave a hole or two in the rotation.

Despite years of mutual interest, Missouri native Mark Buehrle never found himself wearing the Birds on the Bat. The St. Louis Cardinals wanted him at different points in his career, but always seemed to pass when they had a real shot.

St. Louis Cardinals fans have often seen the annual Winter Warm-Up as the unofficial start to the season. The weekend also includes the Cardinals Caravan, which gives fans a taste of what to expect in 2025

Left-handed pitching prospect Quinn Mathews hopes to help the St. Louis Cardinals in any way possible in 2025.

Hitting coach Brant Brown is helping young St. Louis Cardinals like Jordan Walker and Victor Scott discover new ways to improve their swings.

At the St. Louis Cardinals' Wnter Warm Up, Bill DeWitt Jr. doubled down on owning a team not being a profitable venture.

The St. Louis Cardinals do not want to trade veteran starting pitchers like Erick Fedde and Steven Matz, according to John Mozeliak. This is a major mistake, as young arms like Michael McGreevy, Quinn Mathews, Tink Hence, and more need opportunities.
Josh Jacobs|
3 free agent relievers the St. Louis Cardinals can sign as bounce-back candidates to bolster their roster. These include Keynan Middleton, Phil Maton, and Paul Sewald.
Brendan Strieker|
Nolan Arenado, John Mozeliak, and Bill DeWitt Jr. are all repsonsible for the St. Louis Cardinals' lack of moves this offseason.

Ozzie Smith signed a record contract on January 19th, 1983 with the St. Louis Cardinals, and Stan Musial passed away on January 19th, 2013.
