The St. Louis Cardinals bullpen is questionable. It’s strong at the back end with Giovanny Gallegos and 2022 All Star closer Ryan Helsley. It also features Jordan Hicks who has the stuff to be dominant, but his health is a forever-growing question mark. Besides those three though it’s average at best. If the Cardinals want to reach play deep into October, they are going to need the ‘pen to improve. Unfortunately, though, at this stage in the off-season, there isn’t a whole lot available via free agency or the trade market. As a result, any improvement in the overall production of the bullpen and the team’s ceiling is going to have to come from pieces already in the organization.
Should Chris Stratton change his arsenal?
