The St. Louis Cardinals are looking ahead to 2025 after a disappointing season, though not without some bright spots. Rising stars like Masyn Winn and Michael Siani had standout performances, and the bullpen emerged as a top unit in the National League.

Ryan Helsley made headlines by breaking the franchise record for saves, surpassing Trevor Rosenthal's previous mark. Rosenthal expressed his happiness for Helsley, acknowledging the difficulty of achieving such success. Helsley recorded his 49th save in a recent victory over the San Francisco Giants.
