Back in August, I did a quick look at the Cardinals minor league system here, done after the 2025 trade deadline. That article attempted to capture all the new players the Cardinals had just brought in via trading and drafting and what impact they would have on prospect depth. It was a before-after comparison using a before-the-draft Fangraphs update and an MLB.com after-the-deadline update. At that time, I focused on the individual players acquired, more than the system as a whole. Based on what I was seeing, I surmised that the Cardinals had increased their system depth by a fair bit, primarily in the FV 40 and 40+ area. Now, Fangraphs has published a system-wide ranking across MLB shown here. As the title indicates, Fangraphs now ranks the Cardinals’ system #1 in all of baseball, using player valuations as the metric.

There’s a certain kind of silence that falls over a ballpark in the offseason — the kind that feels like waiting for bad news. In St. Louis this winter, that silence has been thick. Not from fans, not from the front office, but from the weight of two names that once defined hope, and now define hesitation.
