Offseason Overview
St. Louis began the offseason with talk of a “reset,” yet the roster has seen no direct moves through trades or free agency. The team maintained major figures such as Nolan Arenado and All-Star closer Ryan Helsley, signaling a preference for stability over bold changes.
Potential Moves
Despite minimal early activity, discussions suggest the possibility of a late addition to the bullpen. The organization continues to explore options for a veteran reliever, keeping communication open with several free agents. With the team remaining the only one to forego signing a free agent, attention has turned to bolstering the relief corps.
Future Impact
Among the prospects is Keynan Middleton, who missed the previous season because of an arm injury and may now be ready to contribute. In addition, experienced high-leverage arms like Craig Kimbrel and David Robertson remain available. A move to add one of these seasoned relievers could prompt further adjustments, including reconsidering earlier decisions regarding bullpen configuration. While the team’s overall contention hopes remain uncertain, these potential signings could provide the necessary firepower to improve closing situations and inspire renewed optimism among fans.
