The Cardinals’ Biggest Problem Isn’t On the Field Anymore

CORRECTION: According to multiple media reports that were published earlier this week, the Cardinals would receive $20 million in local TV revenue this season as part of their move to MLB’s broadcasting arm. Those reports have since been updated and corrected. The Cardinals will receive $40 million in local TV money for 2026, which is a drop of nearly $20 million from 2025. ----------- The Cardinals are finally rebuilding the right way, and the farm system surge is real. But the financial floor is falling out, and Bernie lays out why this could change everything about how St. Louis competes moving forward. In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz breaks down the Cardinals’ rapid farm-system rise under Chaim Bloom, then pivots to the brutal TV revenue collapse and how MLB’s revenue sharing rules, and loopholes, shape competitive balance. ⭐️ Become an STL Sports Central Insider: https://stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/15/stl-sports-central-insiders 🔥 Get 10% off your first month at BlueChew with code ‘BERNIE’ bluechew.com 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
