E36: Building the Ideal 2024 Cardinals Rotation

As the Cardinals play through the final month of a dreadful season, we get some more bad news that could greatly impact their hopes of contending in 2024. With Shohei Ohtani tearing his UCL and likely being unable to pitch in 2024, the pitching market has thinned even further. Sure, the Cardinals were never going to be in play for Ohtani, but his inability to pitch has taken the most desirable ace off the board for other teams. Will the prices of Blake Snell, Aaron Nola, and Julio Urias rise as teams have fewer options to choose from in free agency? We discuss the Cardinals' recent games, including fun walk-offs by Tommy Edman, defensive improvements by Jordan Walker, and we build viable rotations for 2024 via trade and free agency. Which names should the Cardinals target? Which names should the Cardinals stray from? Yamamoto? Pitchers from the Mariners, Marlins, and Angels? John Mozeliak has stated the goal of acquiring 3 starting pitchers and we broke it all down!
