The St. Louis Cardinals have clinched the division and have a meaningless series in Pittsburgh standing between them and the Wild Card round. We don’t yet know who the team will play, but it looks likely to be the Phillies.
With that in mind, I want to look the roster decisions the Cardinals must make prior to Friday.
Roster Locks (20)
Pitchers (10): Jack Flaherty, Miles Mikolas, Jordan Montgomery, Jose Quintana, Adam Wainwright, Giovanny Gallegos, Ryan Helsley, Andre Pallante, Steven Matz, Chris Stratton
Infielders (7): Nolan Arenado, Brendan Donovan, Tommy Edman, Paul Goldschmidt, Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, Andrew Knizner
Outfielders (3): Dylan Carlson, Lars Nootbaar, Corey Dickerson
With a 26 man roster, that leaves us with 6 players.
