St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals certainly were very active heading into the 2024 Major League Baseball season. St. Louis missed the playoffs for the second straight season, but it isn't from a lack of effort. The Cardinals had a disaster of a 2023 season and responded by completely reloading the starting rotation, bolstering the bullpen, and adding more veteran leadership to the organization. One move the Cardinals made was reuniting with fan-favorite Matt Carpenter.

The St. Louis Cardinals added three starting pitchers last offseason, those being Sonny Gray, Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn. Lynn returned to St. Louis after several years away, signing a one-year, $11 million contract with an $11 million option for 2025. The last active member of the team's 2011 championship roster started 23 games, going 7-4 with a 3.84 ERA.

The St. Louis Cardinals seemingly are going to shake things up this winter. There surely will be a few additions as the Cardinals will need to fill out the roster in some way, but most of the moves the team will make likely will be subtractions in some way, shape, or form. The Cardinals likely will let some players walk in free agency and could even do the subtracting themselves through trades involving high-priced veterans. Star third baseman Nolan Arenado is someone to watch in this scenario as he has three years left on an eight-year, $260 million contract and would bring back some solid pieces.

There is a real possibility that the Major League Baseball offseason is just one game away from fully kicking off. The Los Angeles Dodgers currently hold a 3-0 lead over the New York Yankees and have completely dominated the series to this point. Los Angeles looks like the better team, and there's a chance the series could end in a sweep. The St. Louis Cardinals will be a team to watch.

The St. Louis Cardinals will have many holes to fill this winter. St. Louis widely is expected to trim payroll and lose some veterans starting with first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. This will leave a hole at first base for the Cardinals. St. Louis could opt for an internal option or look to free agency to fill the hole.

Despite missing the postseason, the St. Louis Cardinals had a few bright spots in 2024. The big three of Ryan Helsley, JoJo Romero, and Andrew Kittredge helped them win a lot of games. Right-hander Keynan Middleton missed 2024 with forearm troubles. John Denton of MLB.com notes that even though he missed the 2024 season, the Cardinals might not be done with him just yet, especially if closer Ryan Helsley is dealt.

The A's will be looking to make some upgrades this offseason after a 19-win improvement over their awful 2023 season, but the hard part for the club will be enticing anyone to come play for them in a minor league facility in Sacramento. Now, it's not very often that the A's are the team taking on money in a salary dump, but this winter the front office is going to have to get creative. Steven Matz is currently slotted in as the Cardinals' No. 5 starter over at Roster Resource, and before long he could give way to No. 3 prospect Quinn Matthews, a lefty that just mowed down all levels of the minor leagues in his first season in pro ball.

The St. Louis Cardinals certainly looked a little different than expected in 2024. The Cardinals entered the season expecting their starting outfield alignment to be something along the lines of Tommy Edman in center field, Jordan Walker in right field, and Lars Nootbaar in left. In this scenario, Dylan Carlson would've been a depth piece off the bench. There were question marks because the Cardinals seemingly had too many capable outfielders.

The St. Louis Cardinals didn't make the playoffs in 2024, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't some bright spots for the club. St. Louis ended up finishing above .500 and there were some players who had very solid seasons. One player who performed above expectations was catcher Iván Herrera. Herrera slashed .301/.372/.428 with five home runs and 27 RBIs.

Shortly after Fernando Valenzuela threw what became the final pitch of his short stint with the Cardinals, then manager Tony La Russa wondered if maybe an injury explained any ineffectiveness because he wanted to keep the lefty and his experience, his personality, his competitiveness, his vibe around the clubhouse. Valenzuela, as the late Rick Hummel wrote, “demurred” at the suggestion. “I can't be dishonest,” Valenzuela told La Russa. One month, five starts, and four losses after the Cardinals acquired him via trade, Valenzuela was placed on waivers following a loss in Cincinnati on July 14, 1997.
