Could a trade make sense for the St. Louis Cardinals?
has some very tough decisions to make this winter. The Cardinals are going to trim payroll, but they still have to put together a roster for the 2025 season. It surely will be much younger in 2025 with an eye for the future.
This could lead the Cardinals to let some players go, which would open even more spots. The Cardinals likely will need to add some pitching both in the rotation and the bullpen. One player who was"Upon Springs' return at the end of this season, he made seven starts while posting a 3.27 ERA and striking out batters 26.1 percent of the time," Jacobs said.
"While I do expect the Rays to compete in 2025, Springs is owed $10.5 million in both 2025 and 2026 with a $15 million club option in 2027. We all know how the Rays tend to operate in trading away players as they get expensive in order to replenish their system, and Springs is projected to be their highest-paid player in 2025 at this moment."
If the Rays make him available, he may be worth a look for St. Louis. He is 32 years old and won't be a free agent until 2028. St. Louis could easily bring him in and see if he could help stabilize the rotation or move him to the bullpen. He will be cheap and should be considered, as Jacobs mentioned.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
