Class-A Palm Beach finished just above .500, improving over 2025. Despite the best full-season record in the division, the #stlcards' club fell short of the playoffs for the second straight year. At 208 transactions, the roster was in constant flux. https://t.co/4tssIQEyDD pic.twitter.com/HevfGQhUHG

Peoria fell to 1-1 in the @MLBazFallLeague after a Sunday loss at Mesa. #stlcards reliever Nolan Sparks threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings, escaping an inherited two-on, one-out jam in the sixth with two strikeouts. https://t.co/ECITBxtl4A pic.twitter.com/zaL2RwaNy4

Prior to our August site re-ranking, we removed Gastelum, Torres, Prieto, Jordan, Crooks, Rajcic, etc.
Of course, this is your list so you can do as you choose.
Here is the home run-turned into out play in the ninth inning. A gift for Milwaukee, but within the rules. Reminds me why I prefer baseball to be played outdoors.
Home Run? Out?
One of the strangest (huge) plays you'll see. 👀 pic.twitter.com/Cgg2B28ctN

Peoria won its Arizona Fall League opener as #stlcards OF prospect Tai Peete doubled, homered and scored twice. Michael Watson fanned two in a perfect relief inning. https://t.co/s7A26yAr9b pic.twitter.com/SYT0t7BgwG

Rays Drew Rasmussen lost a no-hitter with two out in the eighth, but they lead the Yankees 1-0 with three outs to go.

Leaders in pitching rate stats across the #stlcards system in 2026. Prospect Jacob Odle led the org in ERA and K rate. Yhoiker Fajardo was tops in FIP and K minus BB percentage. https://t.co/XA4Us4vG7K pic.twitter.com/Muw1MFpmPz

We’ve had a lot of fake signups that spam the board, so I had to tighten userid access. Unfortunately, you were flagged. Now that I know you are real, your original id has forum access.
Welcome and I hope you are able to participate in the ranking process.
Reviewing top pitchers across the #stlcards system in 2026. Traditional win and save counts continue to be less indicative. The win leader had lowest season total since at least 1963. And the organization saves leader had fewer than the leader in wins. https://t.co/oxoRLXIhx6 pic.twitter.com/QsZSzUynwI

FWIW, I agree with you, gscottar. Bench players on a playoff team, but maybe short-term starters on a non-contender.
To the question about how much cap money remains, my running total is half of what mudville reports. They had enough remaining to send cap space to the Reds for Ferguson. Wasted but I have to assume they weren’t going to use it.
There is a parallel case for the domestic draft. Flores (and his predecessors) were always allowed to spend up to 105% of the cap. That changed in 2025 and 2026 when they stayed under 100%. That saved the organization about $1.5 million of expense the last two years. We’ll never know if they could have drafted even better with the additional spend, however.
