Cardinals' Bullpen Boosted in Late Trade
4 Aug
Summary
- Cardinals acquired Caleb Ferguson from Reds for international bonus.
- Ferguson has pitched 24.2 innings with a 4.01 ERA this season.
- St. Louis is currently on the outside of the Wild Card race.
The St. Louis Cardinals finalized a trade mere minutes after the deadline, acquiring left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Cincinnati Reds. This move bolsters the Cardinals' bullpen depth as they push for a playoff spot. Ferguson, 30, has a career ERA of 4.01 and a 1.500 WHIP this season over 24.2 innings pitched.
Ferguson's acquisition follows the Cardinals' trade of JoJo Romero to the Milwaukee Brewers, indicating a significant shift in the team's relief pitching strategy. Despite a recent slump, going 3-7 in their last 10 games, St. Louis remains on the fringes of the Wild Card race. The team will need a quick turnaround to contend for a postseason berth.
