TOUCHDOWN A FEW MINUTES AGO: Willson Contreras Signs With St. Louis Cardinals – But Wait… Isn’t That Baseball?

In a surprising headline that’s turning heads across sports media, reports are circulating that Willson Contreras, widely known as the catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, has somehow been linked to signing with a football team under the same name — the St. Louis Cardinals football team. But here’s the twist: the St. Louis Cardinals haven’t had an NFL team since 1987.

So what’s really going on?

Contreras, 33, is currently under contract with the MLB’s St. Louis Cardinals and has not made any official announcement about switching sports. Some speculate this could be a publicity stunt, a misreported story, or perhaps a metaphorical “touchdown” in his current baseball career — possibly referring to a major play, game-winning hit, or personal achievement.

Key Points:

• Willson Contreras is an MLB catcher, not a football player.
• The St. Louis Cardinals football team relocated and became the Arizona Cardinals in 1988.
• There is no current football team called the “St. Louis Cardinals.”
• No official statements have been released confirming any code-switching of sports.

Fans on social media are having a field day with the confusion, posting memes of Contreras in football pads and joking about him lining up as a tight end or quarterback.

If this is simply a miscommunication or a metaphor, one thing’s for sure — Willson Contreras continues to make headlines, whether behind the plate or (allegedly) on the gridiron.
