With the St. Louis Cardinals’ four full-season minor league clubs having officially taken the fields Friday, April 4 for the first time in 2025, The Cardinal Nation is once again bringing you along via our local reporting coverage that continues all season and into the fall.
Here, every day is Minor League Day! For over two decades, 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.
Covering the Cardinals’ four full-season clubs are experienced reporters and writers – Nathan Pomerenk for Triple-A Memphis, Jacob Stoffle at Double-A Springfield, Mark Wagner at A-Advanced Peoria and Steffen White for 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 social media.
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 Steffen White
- Wednesday: Peoria Chiefs Notebook by Mark Wagner
- Thursday: Springfield Cardinals Notebook by Jacob Stoffle
- Friday: Memphis Redbirds Notebook by Nathan Pomerenk
More coverage is coming!
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 coverage of the Cardinals system here in the US. We will also have weekly in-depth reports on the 2025 Dominican Summer League Cardinals, again written by TCN veteran Leonda Markee.
These rookie ball Notebooks will run on Saturday and Sunday mornings, respectively.
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 Michael Goff, 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.
Extensive draft coverage
Leading up to and following the July 13-14 First-Year Player Draft, TCN will deliver in-depth commentary on all of the newest Cardinals.
Updated prospect rankings and Players of the Month
Also, back for 2025 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 monthly calendar, 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 during 2025. It began with his residency in spring training and will continue to Jupiter again for rookie and Class-A ball to the Arizona Fall League and more!
