The St. Louis Cardinals have signed free-agent right-hander Ryne Stanek to bolster their bullpen, pending a physical. Stanek, a St. Louis native, had a challenging 2025 season with the Mets, recording a 5.30 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, though he showcased a strong fastball averaging 98.5 mph. The Cardinals aim to help him regain his previous dominant form, potentially making him a trade asset. Stanek has a career 3.85 ERA over nine seasons in MLB.
