Could the St. Louis Cardinals actually bring in the two-time World Series champion this summer?
St. Louis' offense finally has started to click and the bullpen has been a weapon for the Cardinals after a dismal 2023 season. St. Louis' biggest need -- like this past offseason -- still is adding another starting pitcher.
The Cardinals did a good job this past offseason by adding Sonny Gray, Lance Lynn, and Kyle Gibson in free agency but there still isand it's clear that the Cardinals are looking. St. Louis reportedly could even have interest in Texas Rangers star Nathan Eovaldi,"If the first move to address a need decides the division, the already made it when they added a starter," Goold said. "It’s more likely the biggest move will shape the division and could win it.
"Past interest in Nathan Eovaldi could rekindle if Texas turns seller. If the Cardinals are in the business of undoing previous mistakes, Max Scherzer is a Ranger, though he recently told 'Foul Territory' he did not plan to waive his no-trade clause again." Eovaldi is having another great year and has a 2.97 ERA in 16 starts so far this season with Texas. The right-handed flamethrower also would bring a high level of playoff success to the St. Louis rotation. He helped lead the Boston Red Sox to the 2018 World Series after being traded at the deadline and then helped the Rangers to the World Series last year.
He is a big-game pitcher with very high upside. If the Rangers struggle out of the gate to kick off the second half, the Cardinals should give the Rangers a call and see what a deal would cost before someone else can go out and get him.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
