The 2025 Major League Baseball season has been one to remember for the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis was viewed negatively coming into the season. After an offseason of trade rumors, the Cardinals were widely viewed near the bottom of the National League. Right now, the Cardinals are just 2 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs for the top spot in the National League Central after taking them down in back-to-back games to kick off a four-game series.
