Sad news Jordan Walker will miss the rest of the season due to

The St. Louis Cardinals won’t have a quiet offseason, though their winter may surprise a lot of fans. The Cardinals aren’t expected to contend in 2025, and they know that. As a result, the front office is willing to sell of aging assets, such as Nolan Arenado. The Cards have already noted that Paul Goldschmidt will likely sign elsewhere.

St. Louis is a team in transition, quite literally. John Mozeliak will leave after the 2025 season and make way for Chaim Bloom. Heck, Bloom already has a say in the moves the Cardinals are making this winter, and rightly so.

However, given Walker is part of the future of the organization, his own comments about Mozeliak – and the lack of help he received along the way from management – are alarming.

“Talking to teammates and also just self-evaluation,” Walker said. “That’s just really what it has been, also just talking to teammates and getting an outside view. Whether it’s Masyn (Winn) or (Thomas Saggese) or (Mike Antico) from the minors, (Nolan) Gorman. Just talking to them and seeing what they see. Getting an opinion from others.”

“That was very important, someone that can relate to younger players and speak their language,” Mozeliak said. “No. 2, we also wanted somebody that had a larger breadth, if you will, in what they teach or how they teach.”

If you say so! Walker could have enough talent to break out on his own. Who knows? Maybe Brown will connect with the young Cardinals, providing them more guidance along the way. Knowing this front office, though, I would bet on the latter.
