Hochman: When he's ready, Reyes could be a game-changer

It’s fair to be frustrated.

The Cardinals might not acquire another arm this offseason — but it’s with the understanding that there will be, indeed, a new addition to the 2018 staff ... the top pitching prospect in all of baseball, from just a year ago.

Sure, there’s a caveat. Alex Reyes should join the Cards around May 1, but that’s 15 months after Tommy John surgery.

But as we mentally fill out the Cards’ rotation and bullpen — apparently we’re supposed to put Luke Gregerson in the closer spot and be fine with it — remember Reyes.
