Ferguson Out, Cardinals Bullpen Struggles | MLB News

The St. Louis Cardinals have cut ties with veteran reliever Caleb Ferguson, who struggled in just nine games with a brutal 8.64 ERA and a subpar K/BB ratio. Acquired for $250K in bonus money from the Reds, Ferguson’s brief stint didn’t pan out — despite his eight-year MLB career, including a stellar 1.82 ERA with the Dodgers in 2022. His release coincides with the trade of fellow lefty JoJo Romero, leaving the Cardinals’ bullpen still shaky. Rumors swirl about Hancel Rincón possibly joining on September 1st, but for now, Ferguson heads to free agency as teams continue their constant roster dance to find bullpen answers.
