Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson drop truth bombs on the St. Louis Cardinals offseason.

Should they keep Nolan Arenado, Sonny Gray, and Willson Contreras… or trade stars and let the kids play under Chaim Bloom?

They build lineups, rotations, and bullpens, talk veteran leadership vs. a full youth movement, and argue whether adding a few smart pieces beats a teardown.

Jim Hayes is joined by Matt Holliday and Lance Lynn for another edition of Serving It Up.

They discuss:

• Whether John Mozeliak deserves a farewell ceremony and how fans would react

• Chaim Bloom’s next steps as Cardinals GM and what the 2026 rotation could look like

• MLB’s looming labor battle, salary cap talk, and possible work stoppage

• How pitching development has changed, from grooming 200-inning workhorses to today’s velo-first approach

• The young Cardinals players and arms they’re most excited to see in 2026

In this edition of Serving It Up, Jim Hayes talks with Matt Holliday and Lance Lynn from Milwaukee’s Pfister Hotel to talk baseball life and a little paranormal.

• The guys trade stories about the Pfister’s ghost lore, the reality of 20-games-in-20-days travel, and how much the grind affects performance.
• Then they dig into the Cardinals’ “runway” season: what the club has actually learned about individual players, roster redundancy, and who—if anyone—should be untouchable.
• They also hit on Nolan Arenado’s late-season push to play, how injury decisions get made between team doctors and second opinions, and which cities have the toughest fans.
• To close, it’s awards chatter and October guesses: catcher impact vs slugger value in the AL, Shohei’s two-way dominance in the NL, and which clubs feel built for a short-series bullpen war.
