The St. Louis Cardinals got another pitcher to pair with Jose Quintana. It's Jordan Montgomery from the Yankees. They'll part with centerfielder Harrison Bader, their prized (now injured) center fielder who jumped out from the Cardinals farm system.
The St. Louis Cardinals clearly prioritized pitching at the trade-deadline wire in 2022 after missing out on Juan Soto and others. The Bader-Montgomery deal was reported in the final hour of the trade deadline day.
