Tom Ackerman, Chris Rongey and Bernie Miklasz talk with Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol about the organization’s young talent, building a winning culture in the minors and what the club learned this season. Marmol discusses the upcoming evaluation process, Jordan Walker’s late-season struggles, JJ Wetherholt, Andre Pallante and why third base remains wide open, including prospect Jesus Baez. He also shares the Paul Goldschmidt story that changed how he connects with players and explains how the modern manager’s job is increasingly about communication, trust and clubhouse culture. Plus, Tom, Chris and Bernie look ahead at what a future Cardinals lineup could look like at Busch Stadium.
