St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2026 Regular Season

April 3, 2026 Brian Walton

The St. Louis Cardinals’ full system view by position and level is updated to reflect rosters and transactions for the 2026 regular season.

This newest Roster Matrix covers the St. Louis Cardinals and the entire minor league system, including the MLB club and their four full-season affiliates plus two rookie level teams – during the 2026 regular season.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during 2026 spring training.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is a quick summary:

As the 2026 season opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 238 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 238 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

Now that you’ve found this page once, remember one of three ways to get back here. Bookmark the page, type “Roster Matrix” in the dark blue search box at the upper right (click on the magnifying glass icon) or use the menu at the left of the page: “ROSTERS/PLAYERS/MOVES” > “TRANSACTIONS/ROSTER MATRIX”.

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system. These rosters remain in sync with the Roster Matrix and carry biographical information on all players.

St. Louis Cardinals
Memphis Redbirds
Springfield Cardinals
Peoria Chiefs
Palm Beach Cardinals
Florida Complex League Cardinals
Dominican Summer League Cardinals

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2025-2026 off-season.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is a quick summary:

As 2026 spring camps opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 245 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 245 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

This version is a bit different from prior ones, however. There are three major groupings. 68 players began in St. Louis’ camp. They are listed first and oriented by the levels at which they finished 2025. The 28 spring camp non-roster invitees are denoted by (NRI).

The next group is the 143 players who began in Minor League Camp. They, too, are listed by their 2025 team. This includes 14 new arrivals from the Dominican Republic academy. As a result, the DSL team roster is split into those in US Minor League league camp and those who are not.

The final grouping of the three are the players remaining in the Dominican academy.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2025 Regular Season

March 28, 2025 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 11/2/25, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the 2025 regular season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the current roster matrix for the 2025-2026 offseason season, click here.

The St. Louis Cardinals’ full system view by position and level is updated to reflect rosters and transactions for the 2025 regular season.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during 2025 spring training.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2025 regular season opened for Major League St. Louis and Triple-A Memphis, the Cardinals organization had 231 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 231 players by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. However, be aware that the initial rosters for Springfield, Peoria, Palm Beach and the Florida Complex League/Extended Spring Training will not be released until April 4.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2025 Spring Training

February 28, 2025 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 3/28/25, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during 2025 spring training. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the current roster matrix for the 2025 regular season, click here.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2024-2025 off-season.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As 2025 spring camps opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 236 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 236 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

This version is a bit different from prior ones, however. There are three major groupings. 67 players began in St. Louis’ camp. They are listed first and oriented by the levels at which they finished 2024. The 27 spring camp non-roster invitees are denoted by (NRI).

The next group is the 134 players who began in Minor League Camp. They, too, are listed by their 2024 team. This includes 14 new arrivals from the Dominican Republic academy. As a result, some team rosters are split into those in big league camp and those who are not.

The final grouping of the three are the 35 players remaining in the Dominican.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2024-2025 Off-Season

November 2, 2024 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 2/28/25, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the 2024-2025 off-season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during 2025 spring training, click here.

This Roster Matrix covers the St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, including the MLB Cardinals and their four full-season affiliates plus two rookie level teams – during the 2024-2025 off-season.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2024 regular season from the start of short season play through its conclusion. As there are no injured lists during the off-season, refer to that prior matrix for those players who ended 2024 on the shelf.

Free agents, both major league and minor league, will be removed as they declare, starting five days after the conclusion of the World Series.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2024-2025 off-season began, the St. Louis Cardinals had 219 players under contract from top to bottom, including 38 players (plus three on the 60-day injured list) on the 40-man roster. 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 219 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2024 Short Season

May 5, 2024 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 11/01/24, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the latter part of the 2024 season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2024-2025 off-season, click here.

The St. Louis Cardinals’ full system view by position and level is updated to reflect rosters and transactions for 2024 short season play.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the first five weeks of the 2024 regular season.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2024 regular season opened for the rookie-level Florida Complex League Cardinals, the St. Louis Cardinals organization had 232 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 232 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. The new news is the FCL roster, which is the same as the Extended Spring Training roster shared with members of The Cardinal Nation last month.

Also, all 2024 signed international players not on the FCL roster have been placed on the Dominican Summer League roster. It will need to be cut back to 35 players by June 3.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2024 Regular Season

April 6, 2024 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 5/5/24, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the first five weeks of the 2024 regular season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the current roster matrix for the 2024 short season, click here.

The St. Louis Cardinals’ full system view by position and level is updated to reflect rosters and transactions for the 2024 regular season.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during 2024 spring training.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2024 regular season opened for the Double-A and Class-A, the St. Louis Cardinals had 232 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 232 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

St. Louis Cardinals
Memphis Redbirds
Springfield Cardinals
Peoria Chiefs
Palm Beach Cardinals
Florida Complex League Cardinals
Dominican Summer League Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2024 Spring Training

February 27, 2024 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 4/5/24, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during 2024 spring training. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the current roster matrix for the 2024 regular season, click here.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2023-2024 off-season.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As 2024 spring camp opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 243 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 243 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. Spring camp non-roster invitees are denoted by (NRI).

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2023-2024 Off-Season

November 8, 2023 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 2/13/24, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the 2023-2024 off-season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during 2024 spring training, click here.

This newest Roster Matrix covers the St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, including the MLB Cardinals and their four full-season affiliates plus two rookie level teams – during the 2023-2024 off-season.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2023 regular season from the start of short season play through its conclusion. As there are no injured lists during the off-season, refer to that prior matrix for those players who ended 2023 on the shelf.

Free agents, both major league and minor league, will be removed as they declare, starting five days after the conclusion of the World Series.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2023-2024 off-season began, the St. Louis Cardinals had 219 players under contract from top to bottom, including 34 players on the 40-man roster. 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 219 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2023 Short-Season

June 6, 2023 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 11/07/23, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the latter part of the 2023 season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2023-2024 off-season, click here.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2023 regular season from the start of April until June 6.

July drafted players will be added into the totals as they sign.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2023 short-season play began, the St. Louis Cardinals had 236 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 236 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2023 Full-Season

April 6, 2023 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 6/6/23, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the first two months of the 2023 season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2023 short-season period, click here.

With Thursday’s Opening Day at Double-A and Class-A, all full-season clubs are now active. This newest Roster Matrix covers the St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, including the MLB club and their four full-season affiliates plus two rookie level teams – during the 2023 full-season schedule.

As a reminder, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during 2023 spring training.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2023 regular season opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 237 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 237 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

Memphis Redbirds

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2022-2023 Off-Season

October 29, 2022 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 2/20/23, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the 2022-2023 off- season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during 2023 spring training, click here.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2022 regular season from June 6 through its conclusion. As there are no injured lists during the off-season, refer to that prior matrix for those players who ended 2022 on the shelf.

Free agents, both major league and minor league, will be added as they declare, starting five days after the conclusion of the World Series.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2022-2023 off-season began, the St. Louis Cardinals had 235 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. Two players coming off the 60-day injured list, Alex Reyes and Drew VerHagen, offset the retirements of icons Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 235 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2022 Short Season

June 6, 2022 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 10/29/22, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the latter part of the 2022 season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2022-2023 off-season, click here.

This newest Roster Matrix, covering St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, is refreshed with the short season team assignments for St. Louis and its four full-season affiliates plus two rookie level teams. The latter two squads, in the Florida Complex League and Dominican Summer League, opened their seasons on Monday, June 6.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2022 regular season through June 5.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2022 rookie ball season opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 242 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster plus two on the 60-day injured list. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 242 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2022 Regular Season

April 7, 2022 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 6/6/22, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during 2022 opening day until the start of short-season ball. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2022 short season, click here.

This newest Roster Matrix, covering St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, is refreshed with the regular season team assignments for St. Louis and its four full-season affiliates.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during 2022 spring training.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2022 season opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 254 players under contract from top to bottom, including a temporarily over-full 40-man roster (41). The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 254 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position.

Note that in 2022, Triple-A and Double-A rosters can be up to 28 active players, while the Class-A teams can carry as many as 30. Up to five additional players can be sourced from Triple-A (for a maximum of 33) to serve as the big league team’s Taxi Squad while they travel on the road. Unless/until they are activated, the taxi squadders do not count against either the MLB or Triple-A team’s 28-man limit.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

St. Louis Cardinals
Memphis Redbirds
Springfield Cardinals
Peoria Chiefs
Palm Beach Cardinals
Florida Complex League Cardinals
Dominican Summer League Cardinals
International players signed for 2022

Note that the Cardinals are dropping from two Dominican Summer League teams to one for 2022. As a result, the former DSL Red and Blue rosters have been combined.

For details behind prior years’ rosters and transactions (back to 2009), check out the earlier versions of the Cardinals organization Roster Matrix, via the following link.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2021-2022 Off-Season

October 27, 2021 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 3/15/22, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2021-2022 offseason. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during 2022 spring training, click here

This newest refresh of The Cardinal Nation’s exclusive Roster Matrix – covering St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, with all teams and transactions outlined – will eventually reflect considerable change.

Just ahead is free agency for up to nine members of the 40-man roster as well as many minor leaguers. Then, Rule 5 protection decisions will follow in November.

In normal times, replacements for some of those departing would not be far behind – however, nothing about Major League Baseball since March 2020 has been normal.

This entire off-season may be slowed by the looming threat of a strike or lockout affecting the start of the 2022 schedule. Everything hinges on successful negotiations between owners and players for a new Cooperative Bargaining Agreement.

In other words, the headlines this winter may be dominated by the wrong subjects. But the baseball world should not come to a stop, either. As changes are made to the players in the Cardinals system, they will be captured here.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the 2021 regular season.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2021 season concluded, the St. Louis Cardinals had 273 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster plus four others who will have to come off the 60-day injured list following the completion of the World Series. The 40-man members are identified in bold.

The matrix places each of the 273 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. Lower-level player placements reflect their last actual teams and roles. Please remember that the Roster Matrix is not intended to be a projection, but rather a current view.

This matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

Memphis Redbirds
Springfield Cardinals
Peoria Chiefs
Palm Beach Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2021 Regular Season

April 1, 2021 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 10/27/21, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the 2021 regular season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2021-2022 off-season, click here.

Another interim adjustment

This newest refresh of the Roster Matrix, covering St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, is again different than usual.

The lingering effects of COVID have altered the schedule for most of what remains of minor league baseball for 2021, even while the Major League clubs expect to play a full schedule.

Many of those cut from St. Louis’ spring camp have been assigned to the alternate camp in Sauget, IL. In addition, five of those players will serve as the road trip taxi squad, traveling with St. Louis. Come early May, it is hoped that Triple-A Memphis will begin the regular season with the players from the alternate camp and others.

11 others from St. Louis’ camp this spring have been assigned to minor league camp in Jupiter, Florida. During April, roughly 100 players will prepare for the full-season Double-A, A-Advanced and Class-A seasons. These rosters have not yet been announced.

This level of change is unprecedented in recent times, and as such, the Matrix has been modified to reflect it. The taxi squad, alternate camp and those from big league camp assigned to minors camp are all broken out separately. All other players remain on their 2020 rosters.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during 2021 spring training.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2021 big league season opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 263 players under contract from top to bottom, including an almost-full 40-man roster (39). the 40. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 263 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. Lower level player placements reflect their last actual assignments and will surely change as minors spring training ends. Please remember that the Roster Matrix is not intended to be a projection, but rather a current view.

Another point. Though the State College Spikes and Johnson City Cardinals will no longer operate as Cardinals affiliates in 2021 and beyond, players still reside on those on-paper rosters. Until the organization moves them, they will remain on the corresponding rosters here, as well.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2021 Spring Training

February 21, 2021 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 4/1/21, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects changes during the 2021 spring training. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2021 regular season, click here.

One-time major change in approach

This newest refresh of the Roster Matrix, covering St. Louis Cardinals and the minor league system, is very different than usual.

The lingering effects of COVID have altered the schedule for most of what remains of minor league baseball dfor 2021, even while the Major League and Triple-A clubs expect to play a full schedule on time.

Spring camps across the game are being staggered to limit the number of players in the facility at once. From the Cardinals’ specific perspective, only St. Louis and Triple-A Memphis will begin the regular season on time, in early April.

Because the Double-A and Class-A players will not report to their spring training until the MLB and Triple-A players vacate, the 67 players currently in big league camp with St. Louis are certain to make up the Opening Day rosters for St. Louis and Memphis.

This level of relative certainty is unprecedented in recent times, and as such, the Matrix reflects it. This is a deviation from the past, when only prior rosters were shown in spring camp versions of the Matrix.

This time around, the 28 players listed below as being with St. Louis reflect those who ended 2020 in the majors. They also make up the default 2021 opening St. Louis team, though there will surely be tweaks as the club slims down to its 26 target for Opening Day.

The 39 other players in camp – whether on the 40-man roster or non-roster invitees (or NRIs) – are listed separately as “Others in camp”. In the near future, the majority of them will make up the initial Memphis roster. The handful of other remaining will join St. Louis’ in-season taxi squad or stay behind in Jupiter for the next camp (Double-A and Class-A) while fighting to fill the next Triple-A roster opening.

All minor league players listed on the Matrix below the current 67 in St. Louis camp remain on the roster at the level at which they finished 2020. They will move once their initial 2021 team assignments are clear.

For reference, the previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the long and unusual 2020-2021 offseason. It also shows the signing status of Cardinals free agents at both the majors and minors level this winter.

A refresher

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2021 big league spring camp opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 264 players under contract from top to bottom, including an almost-full 40-man roster (39). the 40. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 264 by position at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. All players who were assigned to the 2020 alternate camp in Springfield but not invited to 2021 big league camp have been returned to their prior rosters. Many of these team assignments will surely change as spring training ends, but the Roster Matrix is not intended to be a projection; but rather a current view.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2020-2021 Offseason

October 31, 2020 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 2/21/21, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2020-2021 offseason. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during 2021 spring training, click here.
With the surprising and sobering open to the 2020-2021 free agent season, a refresh of the Roster Matrix is in order.

As you will see below, the initial transactions incorporate the flurry of roster moves both on and off the 40-man roster as the St. Louis Cardinals said goodbye to a number of players as well as brought others off the injured list, as MLB rules require.

The previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the shortened 2020 regular season of 60 games as well as the team’s brief foray into the playoffs.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2020 World Series concluded, the St. Louis Cardinals had 276 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster plus five who were out for the season and temporarily exempted from the 40. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 276 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. All players who were assigned to the alternate camp in Springfield have been returned to their prior rosters. Many of these team assignments will surely change in the spring, but the Roster Matrix is not a projection; it is a current view.

Another point. Though it is clear that the State College Spikes and Johnson City Cardinals will no longer operate as Cardinals affiliates in 2021 and beyond, players still reside on those rosters. So until the organization moves them, they will remain on the corresponding rosters here, as well. But with the next update planned for the opening of 2021 spring training camp, this will likely be the two clubs’ Roster Matrix swan song.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2020 Regular Season

July 24, 2020 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 10/31/20, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the shortened 2020 regular season and playoffs. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2020-2021 offseason, click here.

Four months late, the St. Louis Cardinals finally opened the 2020 regular season, on July 24. With the announcement of the Opening Day roster of 29 of 30 allowable players, a refresh of the Roster Matrix is in order.

Four other players are out of action, two for the entire season, with 27 others assigned to the club’s alternate camp, informally called Summer Camp South, located in Springfield, MO.

The previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions during the Summer Camp, held in St. Louis for three weeks in July.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

Including all 2020 draft picks and free agents signed, the St. Louis Cardinals have 274 players under contract from top to bottom, including 38 players on 40-man roster, plus two out for the season – Jordan Hicks and John Brebbia. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

With those two excluded, the Cardinals have filled 58 of the 60 spots allowed in their 2020 pool.

The matrix places each of the 274 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. With no minor league season, all players below Summer Camp South are inactive in 2020.

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system. Note the addition of the new Summer Camp South to be used in 2020 only. Rosters other than St. Louis and Summer Camp South are essentially inactive this season.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2020 Summer/Alternate Training Camps

June 28, 2020 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 7/24/20, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2020 Summer Camp. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during the 2020 regular season, click here.

As St. Louis Cardinals players are reporting to Busch Stadium following the 2 1/2-month shutdown across Major League Baseball caused by COVID-19, a refresh of the Roster Matrix is in order.

A reset of St. Louis pre-season roster, called Summer Camp roster, was announced on Sunday, June 28, consists of 44 players. By July 14, the Cardinals will complete their 60-man roster of eligible players for the shortened 60-game regular season to begin on July 23-24 and run through September 27.

The 44 are reporting to St. Louis in preparation for the first official workouts of Summer Camp on Friday, July 3. The other 16 players will arrive in Springfield, MO mid-month to begin preparations as the team’s alternate training site squad, called “Summer Camp South”.

As the 44 is whittled down to 30 during July, players will also be reassigned to the Summer Camp South, with all transactions reported here.

In addition, the Cardinals signed 15 new players during June. Seven comprised the club’s 2020 draft class and the other eight were non-drafted free agents. As they are added to minor league rosters, the changes will be reflected here as well as on our individual team rosters.

The previous matrix outlined all organizational transactions from the close of big-league camp on March 12, including the late-May release of 33 minor leaguers.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As all draft picks are signed and Summer Camp begins, the St. Louis Cardinals have 275 players under contract from top to bottom, including 39 players on 40-man roster, plus one pitcher just added to the 60-day injured list (John Brebbia, out for the season). The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 275 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. The non-roster invitees remaining in Summer Camp are noted by (NRI). Those already cut have a line through the (NRI) and 40-man players optioned out to the alternate training site are designed by (opt).

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system. Note the addition of the new Alternate Training Site, to be used in 2020 only. Rosters other than St. Louis and the Alternate Training Site are essentially inactive this season.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2020 Shutdown

April 26, 2020 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 6/28/20, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2020 shutdown between March 12 and the second training camp, opening July 3. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix during Summer Camp, click here.

Even though no St. Louis Cardinals players are active during this caution period caused by COVID-19, a refresh of the Roster Matrix is in order. Because there was no minor league spring training, which would normally set season-opening rosters, this refresh informally reflects a number of roster adjustments that apparently occurred over the prior weeks and months. They are reflected below.

This article and the tables below reflect the status of rosters across the Cardinals system to the best of our knowledge during the current transaction freeze period.

The previous matrix showed transactions from the start of big-league camp in February – however on it, players on the minor league rosters reflected alignment at end of the 2019 season.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As spring training was ended early and final pre-shutdown roster moves were completed, the St. Louis Cardinals have 294 players under contract from top to bottom, including 39 players on 40-man roster, plus one player already placed on the 60-day injured list. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 294 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. The 20 non-roster invitees still remaining in MLB camp noted by (NRI). Those already cut have a line through the (NRI) and 40-man players optioned out are designed by (opt).

The matrix is updated whenever transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system.

For details behind past rosters and transactions, check out the earlier versions (back to 2009) of the Cardinals organization Roster Matrix, via the following link.

(Note that all international players signed to 2020 contracts are listed separately below. This will not be resolved until the point at which 2020 DSL team assignments are set.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2020 Spring Training 1.0

February 19, 2020 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 4/26/20, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during 2020 Spring Training 1.0, which was suspended on March 12. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for during baseball’s shutdown, click here.

With the official full opening of St. Louis Cardinals big league spring training camp, it is time for a refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This article and the tables below reflect moves during the spring of 2020. The previous matrix show how the rosters evolved from the end of the 2019 World Series throughout the 2019-2020 off-season.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As spring training officially began, the St. Louis Cardinals had 304 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster, plus one player already placed on the 60-day injured list. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 304 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. Players are shown at the level at which they ended the 2019 season, with 32 non-roster invitees to MLB camp noted by (NRI).

The matrix is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system.

For details behind past rosters and transactions, check out the earlier versions (back to 2009) of the Cardinals organization Roster Matrix, via the following link.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2019-2020 Off-Season

October 31, 2019 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 2/18/20, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2019-2020 off-season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for 2020 spring training, click here.

With the official opening of free agency for another fall, it is time for a refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This article and the tables below reflect moves during the 2019-2020 off-season. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved from the 2019 draft and short-season play through the end of the World Series.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the off-season officially began, the St. Louis Cardinals had 322 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster, plus four players being brought off the 60-day injured list. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 322 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. The matrix is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Also broken out are major league and minor league free agents, though of course, they are no longer included in the organization’s totals.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2019 Second Half and Short-Season

June 20, 2019 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 10/31/19, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2019 regular season through the World Series. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for the 2019-2020 off-season, click here.

With the official opening of two of the three St. Louis Cardinals 2019 US-based short-season minor league clubs, it is time for another refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This article and the tables below reflect moves during the second half of the 2019 season. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved during the first half of the 2019 campaign for the full-season clubs.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the US-based short-season affiliates began play, the St. Louis Cardinals had 313 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster and 31 of the 40 members of this June’s draft class. The 40-man roster members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 313 at his assigned level in the system and position. The matrix is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix – 2019 Regular Season

April 5, 2019 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 6/20/19, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2019 regular season up to the start of short-season player. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for the 2019 short-season, click here.

With the official opening of the St. Louis Cardinals 2019 full-season minor league season, it is time for another refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This article and the tables below reflect moves during the 2019 regular season until short-season play begins in the second half of June. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved during spring training 2019.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization Roster Matrix, here is quick summary:

As the four full-season affiliates began play, the St. Louis Cardinals had 290 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 290 at his assigned level in the system and position at the close of minor league spring training camp. The matrix is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization including a decade of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system.

(Note that all new international players signed for 2019 are listed separately below, but on the above rosters, they were temporarily and arbitrarily placed on the DSL Blue roster. This will not be resolved until late May, when 2019 DSL assignments are set.)

For details behind past rosters and transactions, check out the earlier versions (back to 2009) of the Cardinals organization Roster Matrix, via the following link.

St. Louis Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix: 2019 Spring Training

March 1, 2019 Brian Walton

NOTE: As of 4/4/19, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2019 spring training. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for the 2019 regular season, click here.

With the official opening of the St. Louis Cardinals minor league camp for 2019 upon us, it is time for another refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This article and the tables below reflect moves during 2019 spring training. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved during the off-season of 2018-2019.

If you are new to The Cardinal Nation and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As all spring camps officially open, the St. Louis Cardinals had 297 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The 40-man members are called out in bold.

The matrix places each of the 297 at his assigned level in the system at the close of the 2018 season as well as by position. The matrix is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus multiple years of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)

Looking ahead and back

While you are using that menu, note TCN’s full rosters and player pages for every level and every player in the Cardinals system.

For details behind past rosters and transactions, check out the earlier versions (back to 2009) of the Cardinals organization Roster Matrix, via the following link.
