The “unofficial” kick-off to the 2026 season is underway, and Winter Warm-Up day 1 is in the books. Chaim, Oli, and 13 players graced the media stage inside Busch Stadium. Spirits were high as each player expressed
their enthusiasm for the upcoming season and the opportunities that lie ahead, as the roster churn this offseason has led to openings in several positions. I will share video recordings from our friend Kyle Reis from “Wednesdays with Walton and Reis.” I’m sure the recordings will be far more entertaining than my recounting and transcribing for you!
