## Resource

The Cardinals are poised for a playoff run without a full rebuild, and their next big move could be calling up Joshua Baez — a prospect whose development could reshape their future. Balancing his inevitable promotion with the team’s current success means navigating service time, lineup fit, and his ability to handle major league pitching. The front office must decide when and where to give him consistent playing time — not just as a depth piece, but as a potential everyday contributor — all while managing the risks of growing pains and adjusting to MLB competition. This isn’t just a roster move; it’s a strategic decision that could impact their playoff push and long-term roster construction.
