The 2026 autopsy rolls on. Nate and Ben grade Chaim Bloom's first full year running the Cardinals, re-grade every trade from the Sonny Gray deal to the Dustin May deadline flip, and celebrate a farm system that is suddenly loaded, led by Rainiel Rodriguez, Liam Doyle, and Jesús Báez.
Plus: the kid who broke youth soccer, humanity's post-building future, a Brewers–Rays World Series preview, and Nate struggles with who the closer was in the return of What Year Is It?
