NOTE: As of 3/28/25, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current.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 It should now be considered a historical reference document.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.
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 2025 spring training.
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.)
