St. Louis Cardinals Eye Drew Pomeranz as Bullpen Solution

The St. Louis Cardinals are currently evaluating Drew Pomeranz as a potential low-cost solution for their bullpen needs. After a solid victory against the San Diego Padres, the Cardinals improved to 39-31 on the season, securing the top National League Wild Card spot. With the team performing better than expected, adding another arm to the bullpen could enhance their chances of making the playoffs. The Los Angeles Angels recently designated Pomeranz for assignment, making him available for a waiver claim. Pomeranz, who signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Angels, had a 5.01 ERA in 25 appearances this season. However, his past performance shows promise, with a 2.17 ERA in 57 appearances last season with the Chicago Cubs. Given the Cardinals' current bullpen struggles, claiming Pomeranz could be a strategic move to bolster their pitching staff as they aim for postseason success.
