JUPITER, Fla. • The chances of any baseball team employing all season the same 25-man roster with which it starts that season are about as good as Donald Trump and Marco Rubio squishing into a two-man horse costume. So some of the folks who contributed to a 3-2 comeback exhibition win over the Miami Marlins Saturday likely will be in St. Louis sooner rather than later.
Carlos Peguero, a 29-year-old, 6-foot-5, 260-pound mountain of a flyhawk and the son-in-law of former Cardinals reliever Pedro Borbon Sr., has been with four American League clubs. He doubled and scored the Cardinals’ first run in the seventh after they had lagged behind 2-0.
