Days away from the 2024 trade deadline, Richard (@RichardMcGill89) and Truman (@DFAMozeliak) discuss what the St. Louis Cardinals could do.

Buy? Sell? Both? We go through all the names. Two trades during the recording are made that wreck our predictions. The fun of the deadline!

The St. Louis Cardinals have their highest draft pick in 26 years. In 1998, they took J.D. Drew. That pick brought value until Adam Wainwright retired last year. Can they get that much value this time around?

Value will certainly be available at the 7th pick. Names like Braden Montgomery, Chase Burns, Hagen Smith, J.J. Weatherholt, Bryce Rainer and Konner Griffin could be available.

We certainly aren't the experts, but we love this time of year. Listen to @RichardMcGill89 and @DFAMozeliak (Truman) discuss the pros and cons of the first 10 picks and who likely ends up in St. Louis.

What's more America than baseball (and hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet)? The St. Louis Cardinals win another series on Independence Day and remain in the 3rd wild card position. How are they doing it? Can it continue?

We talk the season, who is getting healthy, what they need at the trade deadline, and we touch on the draft that's only days away.

We do get serious at the end and talk about teen suicide. While it's on our hearts this week after a couple of different events, it just kind of spilled out while recording. It's off the cuff and a small sample. It's not to be inclusive nor is it full of solutions.

If you are suffering, please call or text 988.

As a father/son podcast, relationships are clearly important to us. After recent events, teen suicide had been on my heart as the father, and I brought it up with Truman on our newest episode. This was unplanned and unrehearsed. It is by no means answering questions on such a troubling topic. It's just a dad trying to understand more from what his son sees and hears. And, keep in mind, our perspective is just that. We can't answer what we don't see or know. I wanted to share this just as another piece of a much larger puzzle of something so important.

If you or a friend or family member are having thoughts of suicide, please find help. You are not alone. Call or text 988 for help.

The podcast is special to us as a father and son team. Baseball has always been a part of our bond as it is for many dads and their kids. Join Richard (@richardmcgill89), the dad, and Truman (@DFAMozeliak), the son, as we talk about our favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals.

We go over the good, the bad and the ugly. We discuss how they've stayed in the race despite being so average. Can it keep up? Will they buy or sell at the trade deadline? And who do we want in the draft?

After Contreras gets hurt, the worst is expected. Talks of rebuilding the St. Louis Cardinals roster was all over social media, radio airwaves and on podcasts. Oops! The Cards go into Philly in second place in the NL Central and fully in the playoff race. How? Richard (@RichardMcGill89) and Truman (@DFAMozeliak) break it down.

We also cover some great performances in the minors, discuss injuries to key players, and look at the top stories in major league baseball.

We've already talked about the inability of the St. Louis Cardinals to pull the ball hard in the air. We've talked about a couple of pitching issues while pitching, as a whole, has been better than expected. Things have gotten worse, though. Willson Contreras's broken arm doesn't help!

Can it be fixed? Do they retool? Do they rebuild? Trying times could be headed to the gateway city...and SOON.

Is the offense of the St. Louis Cardinals trending in the right way? What are they doing wrong? Where are they struggling? Richard (@RichardMcGill89 on Twitter/X) and Truman (@DFAMozeliak) talk about the struggles on this week's episode. And do the Cards have an ace...plus how much we love the bullpen.
