Even before the St. Louis Cardinals season went downhill there was a lot of focus on what next year’s rotation would look like, and rightly so. The Cardinals have only two returning starters - Steven Matz and Miles Mikolas - and will need to fill out the other 3 rotation spots, preferably with external acquisitions.
But that’s not the only place where the Cardinals need to add. The team is also light on relievers for the upcoming season so what I want to do today is look at how many relievers can be penciled into a bullpen spot next year and determine how many arms the Cardinals should add.
