The St. Louis Cardinals need anyone — anything, really — to upgrade the rotation. Could Twins righty Michael Pineda be an option?
The St. Louis Cardinals are considering anything and everything for their rotation. They have already bumped John Gant to the bullpen and replaced him with Wade LeBlanc. Manager Mike Shildt said the team is open to utilizing The Opener, something they had not done in the past. There remains the possibility that Carlos Martinez is also bumped out of the rotation, but they have not reached that point yet.
