The St. Louis Cardinals were looking for bullpen help and finally made a move recently as they signed eight-year veteran Phil Maton. He had a 3.66 ERA last year across 71 appearances with the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Mets.

The St. Louis Cardinals could have a problem on their hands at the top of their rotation. While they have tabbed veteran right-hander Sonny Gray as their Opening Day starter, he is giving up one meatball after another in his spring training starts.

It will be a full-circle moment for Sonny Gray, whose first Opening Day start with the Cardinals will come against his former club, the Twins, who he left to sign with St. Louis as a free agent prior to the 2024 season.
