The Cardinals have won at least 86 games in all but three of their last 16 seasons, two of which have now come in consecutive seasons. Though they bounced back to tie the Cubs with 83 wins in 2024, their 71-91 record in 2023 was their worst in a non-strike or pandemic season since 1990 (70-92). They haven’t won a playoff game since 2020 and are looking at a roster filled with aging veterans whose individual and collective performances aren’t likely to match up with their salaries moving forward. As such, the club is looking to unload at least three big names this winter.
