NOTE: As of 5/5/24, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current.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 It should now be considered a historical reference document.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.
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 – 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
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.
