Marcus Stroman set for free agency; Top 5 landing spots

3. St. Louis Cardinals

It’s no secret that the Cardinals’ issues in 2023 came from the team’s underperforming pitching staff. With plenty of hope that pitchers like Miles Mikolas and Jack Flaherty could help anchor the staff down the stretch of the year, the plan ended up in some rare in-season selloffs from the St. Louis organization. As the Cardinals look to remake their staff for 2024, adding in a reliable option like Stroman could be the perfect compliment for a team that won’t be looking to exhaust all their options in the trade market.
