I echo Bling’s question from last March. “Did we ever get the PTBNL for Fowler?”
Should have happened by now, over 6 months since the trade.
I will be interested to see who comes off the 40-man or goes on the 60-day IL when our starting pitchers start coming back off the 60-day, beginning tomorrow! Can Quezada be put on the 60-day even though he is in the minors? They added him to the minor league 60-day IL today. Not sure how that works!

Northwest Eaton’s Xavier Casserilla (@XCasserilla7), a first team @SportsDayHS all-area infielder, tells me he’s going to stick with his commitment to Wichita State rather than go pro.He was selected in the 20th round (601st overall) by the St. Louis Cardinals.
MLB Draft Tracker showing that Cabell is signed for $125,000. That just leaves round #20 pick yet to sign by Sunday!
Kind of surprised that we didn’t sign more undrafted free agents this year, but understand there aren’t as many places to put them since a few teams went away! Maybe if we don’t sign the last two draft picks they will sign some intriguing players! Many later draft picks don’t pan out, but with just 20 rounds this year, several potential players will be out there!
Brian,
Have the FA signings of Noah Mendlinger and Bryan Pope not been officially announced by the Cardinals yet?
I noticed they have not been added to the Matrix nor can they be found with your search tool. I saw their signings on the MLB transaction page but didn’t know if it was official yet. Please advise.But it works, I was adding in the $125,000 for the other two unsigned players and it was throwing me off. thanks for helping me sleep better tonight! Seeing it on paper really helped! Thanks! (I’m an old geezer, so spreadsheets help me see things better!)
BlackHillsCard, Could you please post your draft spreadsheet? I have run the numbers and I can’t get the same result so I must be figuring something wrong. I think my problem is figuring the bottom ten slots and maybe the 5% overage that the team is allowed before penalties. Thanks for taking the time to post!
Using BlackHills numbers from above, the Cards would have $505,455 left with the 5% overage included to sign the remaining two draft picks. I could be off on my calculations, but that should be close. Went over on the top ten by $177,900.
MLB is showing another draft pick signed by the Cardinals:
7 (211)…Alec Willis…….RHP…$211,500…..$1.00m…..-$788,500
We knew he would go over slot if he signed!
MLB is showing two more draft picks signed, both over slot.
11 (331)……Mack Chambers……SS – $175,000
12 (361)……Chris Gerard…….LHP – $250,000Now, to get Willis signed! (and the other two in the bottom 10).
MLB site reporting signings of draft picks.
13 (391)……Hayes Heinecke…..LHP – $125,000
14 (421)……Andre Granillo…..RHP – $125,000Hope we get Willis (7) and Chambers (11)to sign soon!
Thanks, Brian! I am curious to see what the Cardinals do to accommodate all the extra players. Can you fill us in on roster limits on the lower minor league teams?
With the draft over now and things starting to settle down (except for draft picks signing and UDFA signings); were you planning a new or updated Matrix with the two DSL teams now playing? Interested to see where all the new draftees end up playing and if current players will have to get cut to make room! What are the roster limits for the various leagues?
I have a roster type question that has me confused. On June 1, 2021, Memphis Redbirds placed RF Clint Coulter on the 60-day injured list. Then, on June 24, Memphis Redbirds activated RF Clint Coulter from the 60-day injured list. I’m pretty good at math and that is not 60 days! How were they able to do this? They also show him as a RF, not as a catcher as the matrix has him. Hasn’t been a C since 2014. I’m sure there is a logical reason they were able to bring him back before the 60 day period, but it has me baffled!
The FCL Transaction page shows RHP Reinys Portillo going to Palm Beach from FCL, but the Matrix has that switched.
Please do keep us updated on anything you hear about DSL news! They have a bunch of players to evaluate and train!
Thanks for all you do, Brian!
Nogowski is still listed on Cardinals and Memphis squads. This could be the cause of the number discrepancy. Holiday weekend so I assume things just haven’t caught up yet!
I am also interested in the DSL. Saw a report that at least one team is not fielding a DSL team this year. Is the season in jeopardy this year due to COVID-19?
Did I miss that Pimentel was released? I noticed that he is gone from DSL Blue but can’t find any info on him anywhere else. Was he part of the shuffle that occurred a few days ago?
