The Cardinal Nation’s Brian Walton is joined by scouting analyst Blake Newberry for a weekly discussion of St. Louis Cardinals news, with a focus on player development and the minor leagues.
Our Wednesday podcasts are quick hitting and timely, covering a short list of current topics in 15-20 minutes. More information on everything we discuss can be found in articles here at The Cardinal Nation.
This week, Brian and Blake focus on the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds roster. Key additions to the team for 2024 are noted, as well as the trial of Thomas Saggese at shortstop, the hot bat of Jose Fermin, the power of Luken Baker and speed of Mike Antico. The rotation is discussed, including who might be in line for a promotion to St. Louis, and they close with a look at Memphis’ late-inning relievers.
Notes
After this episode was taped, the Cardinals scratched Sonny Gray’s planned rehab start with Memphis on Wednesday evening due to weather concerns in Indianapolis.
