Free Agent Spotlight: Hyun-Jin Ryu
Photo by Will Newton/Getty ImagesI will for the moment continue my series on looking at the free agent starting pitchers the Cardinals could, possibly should, attempt to acquire. I ignored both Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg because the Cardinals are obviously not getting them, and I put Zack Wheeler in that bucket as well, which appears to have been a smart decision, since he just signed for 5 years, $118 million with the Philadelphia Phillies. I personally am unable to get the Wheeler who wasn’t very good for five years out of my head whenever I think of Wheeler so I cannot be trusted on my opinion of him as a player.
