Ryan Helsley

STL Relief Pitcher #56

Ryan Helsley was named the 2024 Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year.

It’s hard to find any arguments against that one, as Helsley was an unstoppable force in the ninth inning for the Cardinals in 2024. He secured a league-leading 49 saves while posting a 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 79/23 K/BB ratio across 66 1/3 innings in his 65 appearances. He also notched seven victories in his extremely impressive campaign. Helsley will find himself among the upper echelon of closers in 2025 fantasy drafts.
Nolan Arenado

STL Third Baseman #28

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that the Cardinals are expected to gauge interest in Nolan Arenado on the trade market.

Arenado is still owed $74 million over the next three seasons, and the 33-year-old has seen his numbers decrease since leaving the friendly confines of Coors Field. The Cardinals would likely need to eat a significant amount of salary in order to get a quality return, but teams who need third baseman should have interest as he’s still a strong defender and capable of above-average offensive numbers.
Willson Contreras

STL Catcher #40

Jess Rogers of ESPN reports that the Cardinals intend to move Willson Contreras to first base.

With Paul Goldschmidt hitting free agency, the Cardinals do have a hole at first base, but the assumption from many was that Jordan Walker would be making the move to that part of the infield. It appears instead that the 32-year-old Contreras will head to the not-so-hot corner, and this likely is at least in part an effort to keep him healthy after being limited to just 84 games with injuries in 2024. Contreras has enough offensive upside to be a quality fantasy first baseman, but losing catcher eligibility would obviously be a major blow going forward.
Michael Gomez

STL Relief Pitcher

Cardinals signed RHP Michael Gomez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Gomez, 28, spent last year in the Tampa Bay organization. He posted a 5.04 ERA, but did post a solid 10.9 K/9 over his 39 appearances. He’ll likely provide depth at the higher levels for St. Louis, but a good showing in the Grapefruit League could see him make the Cardinals’ bullpen to begin 2025.
Chance Sisco

STL Catcher #65

Cardinals re-signed C Chance Siso to a minor league contract.

Sisco returns to the fold with the Cardinals as emergency catching depth after latching on back in late August following a stint with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League. The 29-year-old backstop was one of the top catching prospects in baseball years ago, but never really was able to carve out a role at the highest level. He hasn’t appeared in the majors since back in 2021.
Packy Naughton

STL Relief Pitcher #70

Cardinals re-signed LHP Packy Naughton to a two-year minor league contract.

Naughton announced the deal on Instagram, which will keep him with the Cardinals as he continues his rehabilitation after missing all of last year recovering from flexor tendon surgery. The 28-year-old southpaw has made 37 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2021.
Thomas Saggese

STL Shortstop #25

Thomas Saggese went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI as the Desert Dogs defeated the Solar Sox 5-2 in Arizona Fall League action on Friday evening.

The 22-year-old Cardinals’ prospect smacked an RBI double in the third inning that tied the game at 1-1. He then singled in each of his final two at-bats to finish the night with three knocks. Saggese is off to a terrific start in the desert, slashing .431/.554/.647 with a pair of homers, 10 RBI and a 13/12 K/BB ratio through his first 14 ballgames.
Roddery Munoz

STL Starting Pitcher #71

Cardinals claimed RHP Roddery Muñoz off waivers from the Marlins.

Muñoz gives the Cardinals some added pitching depth, but it’ll likely be in the minors. The 24-year-old postered a 6.53 ERA over 82 2/3 innings for the Marlins in 2024.
Keynan Middleton

FA Relief Pitcher #93

Cardinals declined their $6 million club option on RHP Kenyan Middleton for the 2025 season.

Middleton has a $1 million buyout in his contract and will now be a free agent after missing all of the 2024 season while recovering from injury. He posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 64/23 K/BB in 50 2/3 innings back in 2023 but suffered a forearm injury at the start of the 2024 season and underwent surgery in June. He plans to be fully healthy by spring training but will likely have to prove that to teams before anybody signs him to another contract.
Kyle Gibson

FA Starting Pitcher #44

Cardinals declined their $12 million club option on RHP Kyle Gibson for 2025.

He’ll receive a $1 buyout and will now enter free agency. Gibson will be 38 years old next season and is coming off a year in which he posted a 4.24 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 151/68 K/BB ratio in 169 2/3 innings. He is likely to find a short deal somewhere.
