NOTE: As of 2/28/25, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current.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 It should now be considered a historical reference document.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.)
