Tension in Blues as the team head coach nominate a player for their 2024….
If there can be such a thing as a silver lining from the terrible 2023 season the St. Louis Cardinals just went through, it’s that they were able to add some really intriguing talent to their farm system, headlined by infielder Thomas Saggese.
The reigning Texas League Most Valuable Player came over to St. Louis in the Jordan Montgomery trade alongside fellow top prospect Tekoah Roby and reliever John King and got even better as he joined the Springfield Cardinals, After a strong first half with the Rangers’ Double-A affiliate, Saggese posted a 1.064 OPS in 149 plate appearances for Springfield, earning himself a brief appearance in Memphis as the season closed.
Saggese has been incredible at the plate this spring, slashing .400/.444/.600 in the 13 games he has appeared in, highlighted by a 4-4 performance on Sunday against the Nationals. He’s easily been one of the most impressive Cardinals in camp so far.
