It’s hard to bet against a Cardinals team with Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. But the Brewers can pitch their way into contention.
. Contreras, the former Cubs All-Star, has faced questions about his defense and game-calling, which were hallmarks of Molina’s Hall of Fame career. Can Contreras hit enough to compensate for the defensive drop-off?: Jack Flaherty. The Cardinals’ rotation is deep on major league talent, but shallow on aces. If Flaherty returns to form and health, he has the stuff to be a No. 1. He was the Cardinals ace in 2019, when he pitched to a 2.
Louis Cardinals left fielder Jordan Walker hits a RBI single during the fifth inning against the New York Yankees at George M. Steinbrenner Field.: Rotation health. Flaherty dealt with starts and stops all of last season. Steven Matz pitched just 48 innings because of shoulder and knee issues. Miles Mikolas broke through for a strong, healthy season, but Tommy John surgery and several injuries mostly wiped away his 2020-21. Adam Wainwright will turn 42 in August.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta throws during the first inning of a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants.: Garrett Mitchell. With Tyrone Taylor out for at least the first month of the season, Mitchell likely will open as the starting center fielder. The speed demon cracked into the majors for 28 games last season and swiped eight bases without being caught.
Cody Bellinger watches a long foul ball during the first inning of a spring training baseball game against the Chicago White Sox.: Hayden Wesneski. Yankees fans already know the name. Wesneski, a righty prospect, was flipped at the deadline last year for reliever Scott Effross and pitched well in his first six major league games. The 25-year-old had a strong spring and could stick in the rotation.
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller throws a pitch against the New York Yankees in the first inning during spring training.: How much can the Pirates cash in at the trade deadline? Veteran starters Rich Hill and Vince Velasquez could have markets, and outfield standout Bryan Reynolds has been pushing for a trade for months. Andrew McCutchen, Carlos Santana and Ji-man Choi also could draw interest.
