The Cardinals Plummet in Latest Power Rankings
The Arizona Cardinals have hit rock bottom in the latest power rankings, dropping to the lowest spot they have seen all season. After a disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Cardinals have fallen to the bottom of the pack, ranking at number 32 out of 32 teams.
This is a major blow for the Cardinals, who started the season with high hopes and expectations. However, a string of losses and lackluster performances have led to their downfall in the rankings.
Despite having star players like Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins, the Cardinals have struggled to find their footing and have been unable to secure wins against tough opponents. This has resulted in a significant drop in their overall ranking.
The Cardinals will need to regroup and make some major changes if they want to climb back up the power rankings. With the season quickly approaching its end, time is running out for them to turn things around and salvage their reputation.
It’s a tough pill to swallow for Cardinals fans, who were hoping for a successful season. But with their current ranking, it’s clear that the team has a long way to go before they can be considered a top contender in the league.

Cardinals’ Downward Spiral Continues: Insider Power Rankings Reveal Bleak Outlook
St. Louis Cardinals fans had high hopes for their team this season, but it has been a major disappointment. With a record of 65-67, they are currently 17 games behind the first place Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central division.
One of the major issues for the Cardinals this year has been their lack of offensive production. They rank 22nd in the league for OPS and 27th for home runs. To make matters worse, key players like Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan have spent time on the injured list.
According to many insiders, the outlook for the Cardinals is not looking good. In a recent power rankings list by Johnny Flores Jr. of The Athletic, the Cardinals were ranked as the 19th best team in baseball.
This is a new low for the Cardinals, as they were ranked 18th in last week’s power rankings. And with a tough schedule ahead in September, their ranking could continue to drop.
Before the season started, it was uncertain whether Nolan Arenado would still be with the Cardinals or not. Despite vetoing trades and a lack of interest from other teams, Arenado remained with the Cardinals. However, he has not performed as expected this year.
“Flash forward to 2025, and Arenado has an 85 OPS+. Sure, he’s striking out less than ever before (7.7 percent), but he’s also hitting without any semblance of power, and his range as a third baseman has diminished,” Flores Jr. wrote. “With two years remaining on his contract, things might get ugly.”
Flores Jr. predicts that with two years left on his contract, tensions between Arenado and the front office could arise. This is a situation that fans will want to keep an eye on as the season comes to a close.
