Jose Rondon, who impressed this spring, is making life difficult for the St. Louis Cardinals as they look to trim their roster.

The St. Louis Cardinals are about to make tough roster decisions, and one of them will be Jose Rondon.

Rondon, signed to a non-roster invite deal, has impressed at camp this spring. He is not on the 40-man roster and has no options remaining, meaning the team can send him to the alternate site without being optioned to the minors.
