Hey there! It鈥檚 Monday, which means it鈥檚 Cardinals chat day here at STL Today dot com. Post-Dispatch baseball writer Daniel Guerrero here. I will be on the chat to field your questions and comments. We鈥檙e now a couple of weeks removed from the end of the Cardinals鈥 2025 season. The Chaim Bloom era has been ushered in, the Arizona Fall League is underway, and there is postseason baseball in full swing. What do you want to talk about? Let鈥檚 hear it.
(There will be a transcript of the chat below the text box. I鈥檒l update that as often as possible.)
