St. Louis Cardinals rumors: Archie Bradley fills a bullpen need

Archie Bradley has not been as connected to the Cardinals as Tepera, but he’s definitely an option the Cardinals should nab.

Bradley, a 29-year-old righty, was 7-3 with two saves in 53 games and 51 innings for the Philadelphia Phillies. Bradley’s put-away pitch is his four-seam fastball followed by a change-up, curveball, and sinker.

Bradley ended his season on the injured list with an oblique injury. Hopefully, Bradley has taken this offseason to heal and be ready to impress.

Bradley could be a good, low-cost option with an incentive-laden contract for a season or two.
