The Cardinals’ playoff hopes are officially over, and now the focus shifts to what went wrong — and what comes next.

On this episode of the Red Bird Report, the guys break down the brutal stretch that knocked St. Louis out of contention, including the bullpen struggles that repeatedly cost the Cardinals late in games.

They also look ahead to 2027, discussing how the Cardinals can rebuild the bullpen, which young pitchers could factor into the rotation, and what the organization needs to do to turn its young talent into a legitimate contender.

Plus, what can the Cardinals learn from other teams that built around young cores, and how aggressive will St. Louis need to be when it’s time to supplement that group?
