Realistic Starting Pitching Options for Cardinals in 2026 | Cards Central 365

Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down realistic St. Louis Cardinals moves for this hot stove season, focusing on value pitching instead of top-tier free agents.


They talk one-year “pillow” deals and short two-year bets, the rotation holes after Miles Mikolas departs, and how bridge arms can buy time for prospects like Quinn Mathews and others.


Names discussed include Walker Buehler as a bounce-back play, Lucas Giolito as a pricier longshot after his Tommy John return, and KBO standout Cody Ponce as a Miles Mikolas-style flier.


They also hit strategy, contract ranges, and how these signings could create mid-season trade chips if things click.
