ST. LOUIS – It’s a big week in St. Louis Cardinals baseball. We’ve finally made it to spring training. Pitchers and catchers arrived just days ago, and the rest of the team isn’t too far behind.
The new season marks a fresh start for the Cardinals after an uncharacteristic 2023 season. It was the team’s first losing season in 15 years and one of their worst finishes in decades. The Cardinals are looking to turn the page.
Initial reports from spring training have been mostly positive for the Cardinals. There haven’t been any unforeseen injuries. Many new pitchers are building chemistry with experienced battery mate Willson Contreras. And internally, the clubhouse seems motivated for a bounce back season.
In the first 2024 edition of the “Redzone Podcast,” sponsored by Renewal by Andersen, FOX 2 digital producer Joey Schneider and sports reporter Daniel Esteve discuss the offseason roster changes, the impact of Yadier Molina rejoining the organization and new mindsets embraced by lead executive John Mozeliak and manager Oli Marmol.
We also give predictions for the 2024 season and check in with FOX 2 sports report Kevin Ryans from spring training in Jupiter, Florida.
