## Resource

We react to Nolan Arenado’s candid comments on his exit from St. Louis and what they reveal about the Cardinals’ reset, plus Yadier Molina’s return to the organization in a key developmental role. We also dive into the farm system with Josh Baez’s rising stock and a closer look at Deniel Ortiz. In rumor season, we break down reported Cardinals interest in Griffin Canning, Miguel Andújar, and Austin Hays, then wrap with a busy league news roundup including massive deals for Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, a Luis Robert Jr. blockbuster, Realmuto reuniting with Philly, and an injury update on Ha-Seong Kim.
