Bernie Show: Jordan Binnington does it again, tapping the hate vein to hush his critics. And if he can lead Team Canada to Olympic Gold, the #stlblues will have a helluva trade piece.

Bernie Show: I was a little surprised when the #STLCards traded reliever Andre Granillo to the Nats for reliever George Soriano. But I was more surprised by the overreaction to a trade that fits a full-rebuild team and actually makes sense. Happy to explain in the vid.

Bernie Show: Chaim Bloom's patience paid off. The #STLCards traded Brendan Donovan to collect a bundle of five assets for their rebuild: 3 prospects that were drafted in the 1st-2nd round + two draft picks that give STL 6 of the first 86 selections in the '26 MLB Draft.

High on my wish list for #STLCards boss Chaim Bloom: acquire a prospect or inexperienced MLB power hitter in a home-run of a trade that can lead to more HRs for the Cards in the future. Many other teams have done it. So why not the St. Louis? I present some examples.
