It’s time for the Cardinals to look to the long run, and that begins with bringing McGreevy to the majors.
Second baseman Travis Bazzana – Cleveland Guardians

The Guardians’ want within the infield has not gone away. Whereas infielder Gabriel Arias has had a powerful begin to the season, shortstop Brayan Rocchio has continued to battle offensively. Arias has expertise around the infield, with most of his main league appearances at brief. Ought to Rocchio proceed to battle, and Bazzana impress, a transfer to the opposite aspect of second base may very well be within the playing cards for Arias. If that’s the case, Bazzana could quickly observe.
Pitcher Robby Snelling – Miami Marlins
