Back to EpisodesCardinals Option Baez, Reassign Matthews; Prospect's Path to Majors
Description
The St. Louis Cardinals have optioned outfielder Joshua Baez and left-handed pitcher Quinn Matthews to minor league camp. Baez, a top prospect, had a strong spring with a .333 batting average, three home runs, and a .869 OPS. He followed up a successful 2020 minor league season, hitting .287 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIs. Despite his potential, Baez was optioned to triple-A, with the Cardinals currently testing other options in left field due to Lars Nootbaars injury. The team is in rebuild mode and looking to evaluate prospects during non-contending years.
