The St. Louis Cardinals are just a week away from beginning the 2017 regular season. That means it’s time to make final roster cuts and dive into the new schedule with only 25 guys on the major-league roster.
Spring Training has afforded Cardinals fans the opportunity to get a look at some young, exciting prospects who will begin the year at various minor-league levels. But now that Spring Training nears a close, the major-league club will focus on the core of players it will lean on to begin the season.
Slowly but surely, the 25-man roster has taken shape, especially over the past week.
