2026 Minor League Coaches and Player Development assignments

This impressive. The Cardinals appear to be building a player development team that may become the gold standard for player development. If this works out as intended, every prospect and every failing prospect with enough humility to accept guidance should want to tap into the Cardinals’ player development system. Bloom will get credit for this if it works out, but I’m guessing that Cerfolio, with help from others, is the one making it happen.I don’t know what could be more satisfying than salvaging a talented player who somehow got lost in the shuffle.
