The St. Louis Cardinals can’t stay healthy in their rotation and Shane Bieber could stabilize the group in 2021 and beyond.

OK, hear me out. This is a long shot — and even that may be an understatement – but the St. Louis Cardinals should place a call to Cleveland regarding ace Shane Bieber.

It was not expected that Bieber would be available this year, but Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that Cleveland is open to dealing players off their major-league roster — and listed Bieber and star reliever James Karinchak as possible players who could be available.
