After rallying in the season's final month to make the National League wild-card game, the Cardinals are looking to maintain success by adding to their pitching staff.
St. Louis is reportedly in agreement to sign starting pitcher Steven Matz to a four-year, $44 million contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal includes incentives that could make the deal worth up to $48 million.
Matz, 30, bounced back from a brutal 2020 campaign to post the best season of his career with Toronto. He went 14–7 with a 3.82 ERA over 29 starts, helping lead the Blue Jays to 91 wins.
