The St. Louis Cardinals made a huge addition to their pitching staff on Monday, signing former Minnesota Twins star Sonny Gray to a three-year/$75 million deal.

Sonny Gray is getting his huge payday. The right-handed starting pitcher is finalizing a three-year, $75 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The St. Louis Cardinals made their first notable signing of the offseason this week, inking right-hander Kyle Gibson to a one-year deal. Gibson, who went to school at Missouri, only lives 40 minutes from Busch Stadium and has the chance to be at home a lot more. That was one of the factors in his […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to reload. After a dreadful 2023 season full of injury and misery, the team wants to bounce back next season.

Many expect the St. Louis Cardinals to add pitching this offseason, and it would be a surprise if they did not end up with a free agent like Aaron Nola or Blake Snell, but they need multiple starters, and Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease makes perfect sense for St. Louis. The Cardinals still have […]

Marcus Stroman has consistently been a reliable starting pitcher over the years. Stroman is now a free agent and should be in line for a big payday. He will have plenty of interest from teams in MLB free agency. Stroman’s 2023 season was a tale of two stories. He started extremely strong on the mound […]

After coming into the season as one of the favorites in a weak NL Central, the St. Louis Cardinals struggled to even get off the ground in 2023. The team finished in last place in the division at 71-91 — the club’s first losing season since 2007 and its worst record since 1990. No area […]

That’s another interesting question,” Heyman said, via B/R […]

The amount of people who predicted a 2023 Texas Rangers-Arizona Diamondbacks World Series is low. Their preseason odds to win the World Series were 50-1 for the Rangers and 66-1 for the Diamondbacks.

Wainwright’s retirement promoted a quick response from the organization. […]

Yadier Molina turned himself into a St. Louis legend during his 19 seasons playing with the Cardinals.

The St. Louis Cardinals plummeted into vastly unfamiliar territory in 2023, finishing in last place in the National League Central and being relegated to trade deadline sellers for the first time in ages.
