Assuming the #STLCards remain committed to the rebuild, that means they will likely trade: - Riley O'Brien - JoJo Romero - Lars Nootbaar - Dustin May Are the replacements for those players so much worse where we see a big drop off in team performance?

Richard Fitts had season-ending surgery to address the lat strain that recently landed him on the injured list, #STLCards president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said here in Houston. Bloom said in the long-term Fitt should recover fine but will be out for 2026.

Stephen A. Smith says people, including athletes, have been trying to get him fired, but he’s untouchable and tells everyone to be careful what they wish for 😳 “There are many folks out there who want me done. They want me fired. They want me taken off the airwaves of SiriusXM. They want me taken off the airwaves of ESPN. Good luck with that…Whether it’s with ESPN or whether it’s right here with SiriusXM, do you know why I’m not worried about these athletes? Cause they can’t touch me…You got folks out there that want me canceled. I want you to imagine for a second that I’m no longer working for the Mouse during my day job. There’s no more ESPN, there’s no Walt Disney, and all there is SiriusXM and whatever else I want to do in the YouTube stratosphere. Do you understand there would be no barricades? There would be no barriers. Do you understand? That would unleash me even more…careful what you wish for.” (Via awfulannouncing.com/news/stephen-a…)
