The Cardinals have non-tendered RHP Adam Kloffenstein.
The #BlueJays dealt Kloffenstein to the Cardinals in 2023 for Jordan Hicks. He put up a 4.74 ERA as a starter in Triple-A last season.
Since being acquired by the Cardinals, Kloffenstein has been bouncing between the majors and Triple-A but was spent the majority of his time n the minor league. Last season he only pitched 1 single inning in the majors but had a 4-5 record and 4.74 ERA in triple-A.
The former Blue Jays right handed pitcher will likely be able to land himself a minor league deal this off-season but still has the potential to see some major league time if he continues to improve.
Since the Blue Jays are in need of minor league pitchers, it will be interesting to see if they make him an offer.
