The St. Louis Cardinals BIG Mistake with Jordan Walker | The Bernie Show

Jordan Walker’s 2025 season has been a disaster, and Bernie isn’t sugarcoating it. After a promising rookie year, Walker has regressed in nearly every area: offense, defense, plate discipline, and consistency. Bernie breaks down the numbers, questions how long the Cardinals can keep running him out there, and explores the difficult decisions facing the front office. Is it time to send him back to Memphis? Trade him? Or hold out hope? It’s all on the table in today’s hard-hitting Bernie Show. 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
