Arguably the most reliable reliever for the St. Louis Cardinals is Kevin Siegrist and fortunately, the two parties have avoided arbitration for the 2017 season. Siegrist’s deal remains undisclosed but he is expected to make almost two million dollars for the upcoming season. This is a huge jump from the $539,000 dollars he made in 2016. This pay increase comes off the heels of a 2.77 ERA , which led the league among left-handed relief pitchers.
The pay increase is very warranted for a number of reasons and Siegrist has proven to be a very valuable asset out of the bullpen proving that by stranding 89.
