I saw the Cardinals acquired Eduardo Rivera from the Red Sox. What does anyone k ow about him?
November 4, 2026 at 5:15 pm #322394Brian’s article gave a pretty good run down. Second lefty for the pen with Bruihl.
November 4, 2026 at 5:41 pm #322395Thank you!
November 4, 2026 at 6:29 pm #322396Cardinals would have never made this trade last year. Juan Carlos had a very impressive ’25 effort as a 17 year old, but tapered off a bit this past season in the same league. Still just a kid, so Boston may have a diamond in the rough here…….but I’m totally ok with the transaction and look for big things out of Eduardo.
November 4, 2026 at 6:44 pm #322397I am still trying to figure out if Rivera is eligible for the top prospect vote.
November 4, 2026 at 10:03 pm #322402Bling I don’t see why not. Best I can tell he only has 12 days of service time to go with his 10 innings
November 4, 2026 at 10:06 pm #322403Most people think Rivera is a reliever but he has actually started more in his career including. 3 major league starts
November 4, 2026 at 10:30 pm #322405Yeah, Carioca, I happened to notice the other day that 3 of his 4 Big League appearances have been as a SP’er. Maybe the Cardinals and the one they call Bloom are entertaining wild and wacky thoughts of pulling the plug on Liberatore…
November 5, 2026 at 5:04 am #322415I think he is mostly effective vs LH batters.
November 5, 2026 at 11:39 am #322443I am excited about Rivera. Hts stat lines are great. Solid era, high K rate, and very low home run rate. If he is developed as a starter, he could be very valuable, while also being useful as a reliever.
November 5, 2026 at 12:53 pm #322446He did get DFAed though.
November 5, 2026 at 2:41 pm #322451Looks like a fair trade for both sides.
November 5, 2026 at 5:24 pm #322459We might have to include Rivera in our minor league starters.

ParticipantThe fact that red sox were designating him for assignment tells ne not to get too excited about him.

As a starter anyway.
