A former St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher has been linked to the Boston Red Sox in what would be a significant deal for the former homegrown talent.
The Cardinals are hitting the reset button and likely won't be in the market to take on significant contracts anytime soon. This new era St. Louis is entering will require patience as the young talent core discovers its identity.
That said, a highly coveted free agent drafted in the first round by the Cardinals won't be reuniting with St. Louis this winter and "Everyone in the rotation would be much better with a true ace leading the charge in the front," CBS Sports' Matt Geagan wrote Thursday about the Red Sox rotation. " Breslow could throw money at the problem in free agency and try to convince the likes of Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, or Jack Flaherty to come lead the staff."
Flaherty logged a 41-31 record with a 3.58 ERA, 706-to-242 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .240 batting average against and a 1.19 WHIP throughout seven seasons with the Cardinals.The Californian-native landed with his favorite childhood team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he has continued to produce quality starts -- posting a 6-2 record with a 3.58 ERA, 61-to-19 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .245 batting average against and a 1.28 WHIP in 55 1/3 innings pitched.
The Red Sox and Cardinals have a long history of battling it out in the World Series, so perhaps St. Louis will see the former homegrown hurler late in the postseason someday.Nate Hagerty joined “Inside The Cardinals” as a content creator to spread knowledge about his favorite childhood team. A hometown native of Boston, Hagerty chose at an early age of six years old to follow the St. Louis Cardinals.
