The St. Louis Cardinals are facing significant changes to their pitching staff as they enter a rebuilding phase. Despite a strong bullpen performance in 2024, ranking fourth in the National League with a 3.64 ERA, offseason adjustments could dismantle this success.

Andrew Kittredge, who excelled with 37 holds, is likely to attract interest from competing teams. His departure could open doors for younger pitchers, as the Cardinals aim to cut payroll and focus on development.
