With the St. Louis Cardinals’ four full-season minor league clubs having officially taken the fields Friday, April 5 for the first time in 2024, The Cardinal Nation is bringing you along via our local reporting coverage that continues all season and into the fall.
Here, every day is Minor League Day! For many years, TCN has been your one-stop home for St. Louis Cardinals system-wide information – headlined by a team of reporters who are working at the games!
Our writers reside in the cities where their Cardinals affiliate clubs are located and are credentialed media at their local ballparks. They share their first-hand insight with members on an immediate basis for breaking news and on a regular schedule for in-depth reports.
And each reporter has already published one or more articles in this young season.
Covering the Cardinals’ four full-season clubs are experienced reporters and writers – Curtis Chamblee for Triple-A Memphis, Jayden Pettus at Double-A Springfield, Porter Staloch covering A-Advanced Peoria and Ryan Anthony at Class-A Palm Beach. You can read more about all four here.
The Cardinal Nation’s reporters give you the scoop directly from the ballpark on what is happening with their club: player movement, role changes, injuries, who is hot and not and more – going beyond what you can learn from simply reading box scores and following tweets and blog posts.
Weekly eyewitness reports from our minor league writers have begun and are available exclusively to TCN members on the following schedule.
- Tuesday: Palm Beach Cardinals Notebook by Ryan Anthony
- Wednesday: Peoria Chiefs Notebook by Porter Staloch
- Thursday: Springfield Cardinals Notebook by Jayden Pettus
- Friday: Memphis Redbirds Notebook by Curtis Chamblee
There’s more!
Once short-season ball begins next month, our local reporter in the Florida Complex League, Paul Ivice, will again kick into gear as well, giving our subscribers unequalled end-to-end first-hand coverage of the Cardinals system here in the US. We will also have weekly in-depth reports on the 2024 Dominican Summer League Cardinals, written by TCN veteran Leonda Markee.
Every game recapped each morning
Of course, you don’t have to wait a week to find out what is happening across the organization. Each morning, our minor league notebooks, recapping all the scores and results around the entire Cardinals system, are available for all readers.
Written by long-time TCN staffer Marilyn Green and newcomer Ben Kinealy, they highlight the previous day’s action and preview the upcoming starting pitchers every morning all season long.
These daily reports are always free.
As player movement and injuries occur, The Cardinal Nation will report on them immediately – not only with basic information, but also outlining implications to the players and rosters.
Draft coverage continues
Leading up to and following the July 14-16 First-Year Player Draft, TCN will deliver in-depth commentary on all of the newest Cardinals, with coverage led by scouting analyst Blake Newberry.
Updated prospect rankings and Players of the Month
Also back for 2024 will be our popular Monthly Cardinals Prospect List Updates, exclusively for TCN members. The top risers and fallers in the organization will be analyzed mid-month starting in May.
At the top of the calendar monthly, we name our system-wide Pitchers and Players of the Month, driven by analysis of multiple candidates. The honors are entirely results-based without consideration of prospect status.
As always, TCN’s publisher and editor Brian Walton will crisscross the system this season. It began in spring training and will continue to Jupiter again for rookie and Class-A ball to the Arizona Fall League and more!
