I wouldn't call it a rebuild. More of a "reduce payroll this year" mode. They still have Gray, Fedde, Mikolas, Matz, Helsley, Arenado, Contreras if they were doing a hard rebuild more of those guys would be gone. They are at least trying to fake being competitive or they want a 4% chance of making the WC for some reason. 

St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

The Cardinals are committed to youth in 2025, which includes giving Walker a long leash in right field. The 22-year-old Walker slashed only .201/.253/.366 over 52 regular-season games with St. Louis in 2024 while spending a large chunk of the campaign in the minors.

I expect they are actively trying to move guys.  Still time.

Oh sh*t - they're going to stick him in RF again this year?

I mean this is the team that signed a catcher to a five year deal and then said he was no longer their catcher in year 1

they can't be trusted 

easy to be committed to youth on paper in the offseason. wait until Jordan Walker is playing minus minus defense in the OF and then some white guy with strong side platoon skills comes along

I guess.  The underlying metrics with the bat were fine.  Similar to the year before.  Went from .331 to .252 BABIP
