PITTSBURGH — A deal Giovanny Gallegos has sought for at least year and almost came to fruition in spring, found new footing and completion by fall.
The Cardinals and their versatile, late-inning right-handed reliever finalized a contract extension that could keep him with the team through the 2025 season. The extension is for two years, covering the two remaining years of his arbitration eligibility, and it includes a club option for 2025. That would otherwise be his first year of free agency.
- The solo home run gave him his 64th RBI season and the 2,214th of his 22-year career, tying him with Hall of Famer Babe Ruth for second all-time in RBIs.
