As the St. Louis Cardinals approach the end of the 2024 season, they find themselves outside of the playoff race. With 11 games remaining, their focus has shifted toward rebuilding for 2025 and addressing the glaring issues within the organization.
One of the biggest concerns is the aging and inconsistent rotation, a situation that demands urgent attention.
While veterans in the rotation like Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, and Kyle Gibson are winding down, the Cardinals may begin turning to younger arms to solidify their pitching staff for the future.
One prospect who could be key to the Cardinals’ rotation overhaul is 24-year-old Michael McGreevy.
McGreevy’s Call-Up: A Glimpse into the Future
McGreevy, a former first-round pick, has been a name to watch within the Cardinals’ farm system.
On Wednesday, it was reported that he would likely be joining the Cardinals’ active roster. As noted by The Athletic’s Katie Woo , McGreevy was scratched from his Triple-A start with Memphis, indicating that the Cardinals could use him in a long-relief role as they evaluate his potential for 2025.
