Before a revamped roster can lead the Cardinals back onto the field and back to baseball Saturday in Chicago, the team first will take its quarantine on the road, again.
In addition to promoting a handful of new players, including top prospect Dylan Carlson, to fill in the gaps on their team, the Cardinals rented 41 cars so that 41 members of their traveling party can drive themselves to Chicago on Friday. The purpose of the Cardinal convoy will be to add one more day of isolation from each other before they’ll regroup for the first time in nine days on Saturday morning — a few hours before playing a doubleheader.
