I'm Bernie Miklasz. I've been writing and talking about St. Louis sports since 1985. I've won multiple national awards for writing and talk-show hosting. I was the lead sports columnist at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from 1989 through 2015. I was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2023. I write tons of columns for the Scoops Network, and I'm a regular contributor at the legendary St. Louis radio station, KMOX. I believe in speaking my mind without filters and supporting my vie ...

In recent interviews, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina separately expressed their desire to manage in the big leagues. Pujols was the subject of an excellent story written by Bob Nightengale of USA Today, and Molina shared his feelings in an interview with the fantastic Katie Woo of The Athletic. I encourage all of you to read them. In this video --…

Hello again. The Blues are on a roll, having gone 5-1 in the last six games and 6-1-1 in their last eight. They now are just one point out of the second wild-card playoff spot in the Western Conference and seem to be peaking at the right time. In this video: -- Will the Blues trade team captain Brayden Schenn before Friday afternoon's trading deadl…

Albert Pujols has informed the world that he's ready to manage in the big leagues, and is ready to go if he gets the call this season or before 2026. Naturally -- and nationally -- there's considerable speculation about a Pujols-Cardinals reunion, with The Great Pujols becoming the manager for a franchise and a fan base that he truly loves. I don't…

The St. Louis Cardinals pledged that 2025 season would be a "reset" after the team ranked 22nd among 30 teams in winning percentage over the past two seasons. But the reset never happened. The reset became a "transition," but I that only applies to the project to refurbish a horrendously outdated minors/development operation. I don't see a transiti…

Over the weekend, the great Albert Pujols told reporters that he's ready to manage in the big leagues, and even presented a timetable: sometime this season (if a job opens) or in 2026. The Cardinals have a manager, Oli Marmol, under contract through the 2026 season. But nothing prevents St. Louis from changing managers, and John Mozeliak already fi…

Greetings. Once upon a time, the St. Louis Cardinals were one of the best organizations in the majors in drafting and developing starting pitching. But that has changed, and I took a look at their epic failure in a crucial area. I reviewed their drafts from 2015 through 2021 -- seven years -- and their absolute ineptitude is was even worse than I t…

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol has worked for the organization for 18 consecutive seasons, startng when John Mozeliak selected him in the 6th round of the 2007 MLB draft. Between then and now, Mozeliak has promoted Oli every step of the way, moving Marmol up the ladder as a coach and manager in the minors and majors. But after the 2025 seas…

Hello again. In today's video -- posted much later than planned because of technological issues -- is about the Cardinals "open competition" in center field. Listed alphabetically, the candidates are Lars Nootbar, Victor Scott II, and Michael Siani. If the priority is offense, then Nootbaar is the one. But do the Cardinals really want to go with No…

The great Derrick Goold (STLtoday) had an interesting story over the weekend, reporting (via sources) that teams are saying the Cardinals are "open" to the idea of trading starting pitcher Erick Fedde. Any such trade is a matter of timing. Sooner or later? Well it depends on what is being offered by a team (or teams) at the time. In this video, I t…

Katie Woo of the Athletic reported some fresh news Friday: Nolan Arenado rejected a trade to the Astros even though the Astros were on his five-team list of approved destinations. And then he said no when a deal with Houston was on the verge of completion. That is Arenado's contractual right, of course. I don't blame him for that, though I certainl…

The Missouri Tigers are having an exceptional season that's even more impressive if we remember (which we do) the sad 0-18 record the team had in the SEC in regular-season play. Including a loss in the 2024 SEC Tournament, Tigers played 19 games against SEC rivals without having one happy-postgame reason to celebrate. To say that coach Dennis Gates…

Greetings. In my opinion the two most important people at St. Louis Cardinals spring training are Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman. If they successfully rebound from their brutal 2024 seasons, the 2025 offense will fly. If Gorman and Walker have another busted season, the St. Louis offense has little chance of taking flight. Yes, they are that import…

Chaim Bloom will take over for John Mozeliak after the 2025 season and take office as the president of baseball operations for the St. Louis Cardinals. The change is long overdue but welcome. Bloom correctly has spent most of his time overseeing the hugely important project of modernizing the antiquated and comically inadequate player-development/f…

Nolan Arenado will be checking into Camp Jupiter this weekend, or perhaps Monday morning. He has not been traded. He will be the Cardinals third baseman to start the season, and we'll see how it plays out. There's no real reason to start another round of trade rumors and speculation. Time to focus on getting ready for a new year on the diamond. I d…

Here we go again, talking about the St. Louis Cardinals and their never-ending saga with third baseman Nolan Arenado. There was news Wednesday night when Boston signed free-agent Alex Bregman to a three-year deal worth $120 million if he doesn't opt out of it after 2025 or 2026. The Red Sox were by far the most likely destination for Arenado -- but…

Greetings. What is the Cardinals upside for 2025? The analytical projection systems aren't favorable ... 78 wins. The sportsbooks over/under line for St. Louis victories is set at 75.5 wins. Ugh. What would it take for disillusioned or alienated fans to come back to the ballpark or subscribe to the upcoming Cardinals' direct-to-consumer service? An…

The Cardinals are reportedly balking at the financial cost of offloading third baseman Nolan Arenado to the Red Sox -- if in fact, a potential trade is actually on the table, and in the final stages of completion. Jeff Passan (ESPN) reports that Cardinals are balking at the financials. "Moving Arenado could force St. Louis to eat upward of half the…

Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer put together a list of the best and worst current MLB owners as spring training gets underway in advance of the 2025 seasons. Rymer ranked them from No. 1 through No. 30, with No. 1 being the best. The Top 10 best owners according to Rymer: Dodgers Mets Braves Astros Phillies Yankees Cardinals Red Sox Cubs Rangers…

After many years of covering the Super Bowl -- I worked at every Super Bowl from 1983 through 2015 -- I've enjoyed kicking back and watching all of the activities of Super Bowl Sunday ... knowing that I have no work-related duties except for picking up the chicken wings, making the guacamole, making a pile of slider-sized sandwiches, peeling the ju…

Aside from the massive project to update and upgrade their minor-league infrastructure and substantially improve their efforts in player development, the St. Louis Cardinals are not doing a "reset" at the major-league level. Not yet, anyway. What they are doing, mostly, is talking out of the both sides of their mouth. It's supposed to be a "reset" …

You don't need much of a description here. In the biggest story of the Cardinals' offseason -- which isn't saying much -- Jim Edmonds went off on the Cardinals in a stream-of-consciousness interview on 101 ESPN. It was compelling, confusing, contradictory -- and all over the map. This was the latest example of Jimmy Being Jimmy ... it's his role of…

In what is supposed to be a "reset" season for the St. Louis Cardinals, I wonder if this marketing pitch to fans and media will lead to more legitimate opportunities for their younger, less experienced starting pitchers. Or will it be the outdated, old-school approach as usual? More MLB teams are transitioning to six-man rotations for larger segmen…

Last season Missouri went 0-18 in SEC play in a shocking example of futility that we haven't seen very often by a major-conference program during the shot-clock era, which began in the 1985-86 season. Mizzou coach Dennis Gates has done an outstanding job of instantly turning things around in a dramatic way and the Tigers' impressive rebound from la…

Twenty-five years ago today (Jan. 30) the 1999 St. Louis Rams completed an incredible, shocking, and unforgettable season by defeating the Tennessee Titans to win the 34th Super Bowl. I covered that team from start to finish, and will always treasure the improbable underdog-turned-hero quarterback (Kurt Warner), the sensational running back (Marsha…

In this video, I explain the way the Cardinals, in recent seasons, have misused, miscast or otherwise mishandled young arms that were drafted to serve as starting pitchers. To explain my points, I give obvious examples of the mistakes that have been made -- and the incomprehensible lack of a direction or a plan that leaves this front office swervin…

In his first year of managing -- ever -- St. Louis Cardinals icon Albert Pujols overcame adversity that included a brutal in-season team slump to get Leones de Escogido into the Dominican Winter League playoffs on the final day of the regular season. From there, Pujols managed Escogido to the league championship after going 10-5 in a round-robin pl…

The St. Louis Cardinals have had an awfully quiet offseason. At the major-league level, they haven't traded for anyone. They haven't signed a current big-league free agent. And even though John Mozeliak said the team would likely take a "step back" in 2025, he now speaks of a team that possibly will can be an entertaining and winning side that exce…

According to reports, the Houston Astros are interested in keeping their free-agent third baseman, Alex Bregman. He's still waiting for the right offer to come along, but in the meantime the Astros "final" offer to Bregman is still on the table.(Six years, $156 million.) If Bregman circles back to make a deal with Houston owner Jim Crane, and the R…

In today's video, I follow up on something said by St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak during the team's annual Winter Warm-Up: he doesn't want to trade away pitching, but he might be interested in trading a position player. Interesting. Who could that be? Who are the REALISTIC trade candidates among the St. Louis pos…
