Aaron Nola, Sonny Gray lead pack of free agent pitchers Cardinals might target

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:01:17 GMT

ST. LOUIS - "Pitching. Pitching. Pitching." A sentiment echoed by Cardinals lead executive John Mozeliak months ago remains the team's biggest priority this offseason. The St. Louis Cardinals ended the 2023 campaign with their first losing season since 2007 and only last-place finish in the NL Central to date. Plagued by persistent pitching woes, the Cardinals finished among baseball's worst teams in ERA (4.79), quality starts (48) and blown saves (28), all in the lower quartile of teams. Needless to say, pitching needs to be addressed in the upcoming months if the Cardinals hope to prove the disappointing 2023 season was a fluke. Last August, Mozeliak hinted the Cardinals could pursue up to three new starting pitchers this offseason. If that holds true, there's quite a promising bunch of free agents to consider.Two names particularly stand out among this year's free agents as potential fits for the Cardinals: Aaron Nola and Sonny Gray.
