Cardinals discard recent Royals playoff pest as brutal 2025 season continues

While the Kansas City Royals may be focused on their current chaotic hunt for a second-consecutive postseason berth, news pertaining to them continues to go on throughout the league.

In fact another team on the fringe of a Wild Card race are the St. Louis Cardinals - who may be a little further out from their respective Wild Card spot than the Royals are from theirs, as they sit 4.5 games back of the New York Mets - made some roster moves on Monday to optimize their MLB roster.

One of these moves sees an old friend of the Royals on the move again, as in order to make room on the 40-man roster for the selection of Nick Raquet's contract, the Cardinals designated Garrett Hampson for assignment.
