With an earlier than usual start to spring training and a later-arriving minor-league camp, the Cardinals will have their most crowded clubhouse yet for camp in Jupiter, Fla., and each corner will be stuffed with recognizable prospects.
Outfielder Dylan Carlson along with leading prospects Zach Thompson, Nolan Gorman, and newcomer Matthew Liberatore are four of the two dozen non-rosters coming to major-league spring training, the team revealed on Twitter on Friday afternoon. The Cardinals expect to have around 70 players in camp -- their largest camp in memory.
With minor-league camp starting later, the two camps won't overlap as much as in recent seasons.
