As the trade deadline approaches, the St. Louis Cardinals are strategically positioning themselves to bolster their rotation by potentially acquiring a veteran starting pitcher. Unlike last year, when the team offloaded players, this season they are focused on adding depth. Given the limited trade market, the Cardinals may need to search diligently for the right fit, and one such option could be the San Francisco Giants’ Alex Cobb.

By the Numbers

Cobb has a career record of 77-75 with a 3.85 ERA. In 2023, he posted a 7-7 record with a 3.87 ERA in 151 1/3 innings pitched.

Yes, But

Trading for an aging pitcher recovering from surgery poses a risk. However, if Cobb can replicate his previous season’s form, it could prove advantageous for the Cardinals.

State of Play

The Cardinals are actively assessing trade options to strengthen their rotation. Cobb’s recovery progress, particularly his return to live batting practice, indicates a potential comeback.

What’s Next

If Cobb successfully returns to form in the coming weeks, he could emerge as a valuable rental option for the Cardinals, offering a cost-effective solution to boost their pitching staff.

Bottom Line

Considering the opportunity presented by a potentially economical trade for Cobb, the Cardinals have a calculated risk that could pay off with a skilled addition to their pitching lineup. The move could be a key factor in their push for a strong finish to the season.
