As free agent signing and trades continue across Major League Baseball through the winter, some players on the move include former Cardinals. Some became fan favorites while wearing the birds on the bat, while others might’ve had brief stints in St. Louis before departing.
Here is where some of those past Cardinals are heading:
Carpenter — a three-time All-Star during his 11 seasons with the Cardinals — inked a one-year deal on Tuesday with the Padres after he batted .305 with a 1.139 OPS and 15 home runs in 128 at-bats for the Yankees last season. Carpenter’s deal includes a player option for 2024 and would pay him a guaranteed $12 million, with the possibility of earning up to $21 million with incentives, according to multiple reports.
