Ex-Cardinal Stars Shine! Who's Ready for 2025 MLB Postseason Glory?
The 2025 MLB Postseason is here, and former St. Louis Cardinals are making waves across multiple teams! From seasoned veterans seeking their first World Series ring to rising stars ready to cement their legacy, the impact of these ex-Cardinals is undeniable.
Cardinals Alumni Chase World Series Dreams
Several familiar faces are poised to play crucial roles for their respective teams. Paul Goldschmidt and Luke Weaver, now teammates on the New York Yankees, are both hungry for their first championship. Remember, Weaver was part of the trade that brought Goldschmidt to St. Louis originally! Goldschmidt, despite a slightly down year, brings veteran leadership and clutch hitting to the Yankees lineup. Weaver, a reliable right-hander, is a key piece in the Yankees' bullpen, entrusted with high-pressure situations.
Harrison Bader and Edmundo Sosa, both traded from the Cardinals in 2022, are looking to make a significant impact with the Philadelphia Phillies. Bader's energy and recent offensive surge make him a dangerous weapon, while Sosa's versatility and ability to crush left-handed pitching provide valuable depth for the Phillies. Could these former Cardinals help propel the Phillies to their ultimate goal?
Stanford Cardinal Representation
Beyond the Cardinals alumni, the Stanford Cardinal baseball program is also well-represented in the 2025 MLB Postseason. Tommy Edman (Los Angeles Dodgers), Nico Hoerner (Chicago Cubs), and Austin Slater (New York Yankees) are all former Stanford stars playing key roles for their teams. A.J. Hinch manages the Detroit Tigers and Sam Fuld is President of Business Operations for the Philadelphia Phillies, further showcasing Stanford's influence on the game.
The 2025 MLB Postseason promises to be filled with exciting storylines, and the contributions of these former Cardinals and Stanford Cardinal players will undoubtedly be a key part of the drama. Who will emerge as October legends? Only time will tell!
