Brian, Do you expect there to be any DSL players dropped in the next week or two? I know several players could/will be moved to the FCL team in 2027, but there isn’t much room for any International prospects to be added on Jan. 15. Since the International signing period does not concern the Major League team, I assume it will happen as scheduled, unless you have heard anything to the contrary. Which players might they let go, if needed?
Kinda sad to see Tink go, but in reality, he could never stay healthy. He is another “what might have been” players that we say goodbye to.
We have re-signed the following players to minor league contracts for the 2027 season:
▪️RHP Randel Clemente
▪️LHP Josh Fleming
▪️INF Ramon MendozaThe following players have been declared minor league free agents:
▪️RHP José Davila
▪️RHP Tink Hence
▪️RHP Bruno López
▪️1B Bligh…— Cardinals Player Development (@CardsPlayerDev) November 3, 2026
The end of the post says:▪️1B Bligh Madris
▪️RHP Ryan Murphy
▪️RHP Sem Robberse
▪️RHP Darlin Saladin
▪️RHP Gerardo Salas
▪️LHP Zack Thompson
▪️C Andy YerzyBased on posts from their agency both Randel Clemente and Ramon Mendoza have re-signed with the Cardinals for 2027.
Both were set to become minor league free agents.

#17 – Josiah Ragsdale
#18 – Tegan KuhnsRagsdale performed well last year and shows upside. Kuhns will quiet the doubters this year and show why he was a high draft pick.

#13 – Alexander Frias
#14 – Sebastian Dos SantosI ranked these two young prospects here because of potential, and what we have already seen. But I also ranked Tink Hence at #12 last year, so….

From Twitter (X) post from Mets Prospect Group who posts many International “signings” or deals with Int. prospects. I don’t know if this is for this year or a class in the future, so stay tuned for an official announcement.
Cardinals add RHP Keddi Roa
#11 – Condon
#12 – PeeteI love all the discussion and opinions that this board presents about these prospects! I have a hard time putting into words my thoughts about various prospects, so it helps to hear from all of you why you support the players at the slot you have ranked them. Really appreciate the thought and time you all put into these picks! Thanks!
Two prospects linked to the Cardinals:
St. Louis Cardinals 2030 $2M Riccardo Scibilia – Catcher R/R Class of 2029/30
St Louis Cardinals 2030 $2.5M Wilkin Fleming – SSI tried to include this X post, but it won’t import.
Both teams have former Cardinals.
The Brewers have Dustin May and Jo Jo Romero.
The Rays have Steven Matz and Richie Palacios.Don’t forget Ryan Vilade for the Rays!
Per Rob Rains newsletter:
As far as the Arizona Fall League goes and the Cardinals players involved, pitcher Tekoah Roby had another good game yesterday. I talked to him and he said it will be his last outing in Arizona as he will be returning home early.
Here is something I pulled from MLB rules page:
A player becomes eligible to sign with any organization as a minor league free agent when he has played six full minor-league seasons with the club that drafted him. If a player is released, he becomes a minor league free agent upon expiration of any subsequent contract he signs.
And:
Team Control Period: Amateur players signed via the draft or international free agency are generally under team control for 7 seasons (or 6 full minor league seasons) before reaching minor league free agency, provided they are not placed on the 40-man roster.
Pugs asked:
Any more Baez’ left on the board?
There is one more but he has only reached the FCL. Jarol Báez – RHP.
Maybe we can pick up another one if they have the International signings this January! LOL!I wonder if the Cards will take a look at Japanese pitcher Shoki Oda before Dec. 15? He is a high school pitcher who has opted not to take part in the NPB draft, but to “pursue opportunities in the United States — either by signing with an MLB team as an international free agent or attending an American college.”(MLB.com) https://www.mlb.com/news/shoki-oda-to-skip-npb-draft-to-pursue-mlb-dreams
Brian, do you have any insight on this young prospect?
Trevor Condon at #9 for me. He should move up the levels rather quickly, and contribute to the big club for many years. He’s young, but has a great start!
