It didn’t take long till rumors were flying about the St. Louis Cardinals and Ruben Tejada, when the New York Mets decided to waive him. Now the two have reached an agreement and the Cardinals have another option at shortstop.
The deal is a one year major league free agent deal for $1.5 Million. So, the Cardinals will likely be making a related move on the 40-Man roster to make room for Tejada. The details of the move have not been released yet, but what is known is that Tejada will wear no. 19, the number that had been occupied by my wife’s favorite player (Jon Jay).
