Still so weird after two tumultuous seasons that Roycroft is still on the 40-man/active when there are younger guys (like Cade Winquest) who would have a better chance to contribute for the team in the future. Especially given Roycroft’s performance, he seems easily replaceable.

Waiver claim!! Cardinals claimed RHP Zak Kent off waivers from the Guardians

Hi Brian! Thank you for the warm welcome.

You have a valid point on the DFA/trade stance. Pitching depth in Memphis needs to be not only bolstered but protected if the Cardinals want to see optimal results in the show. However, if the organization chooses to utilize Fernandez and Roycroft as depth pieces, I’d rather they be called up one a time, rather than together.

Also, do you think they prefer to add a new starter via trade/signing instead of calling up Hence, Matthews or Roby?

What’s everyone’s projected pitching roster/rotation for 2026?

Rotation: Leahy, McGreevy, Fitts, Libby, Pallante
Bullpen: Granillo, Svanson, Graceffo, Romero, O’Brien, + one more lefty and a Free Agent Veteran
DFA/Trade: Fernandez, Roycroft

If Pallante gets shaky, I’d send him to the bullpen and call up Matthews.

I can’t stress this enough… the Cardinals cannot have another season of allowing both Fernandez and Roycroft “work through their mistakes” at the same time. It hinders the possibilities of good prospects in the organization of a shot in the big leagues.
