Cardinals outright Matt Carpenter
The Cardinals have outrighted 2B/IF Matt Carpenter. The 38 year old and the Cardinals reunited this offseason with a one year deal, but this reunion appears to be short lived. As the Cardinals head towards the conclusion of Spring Training, and with the likes of Brandon Crawford on the roster, there really isn't a spot for Carpenter. Nolan Gorman will be the primary DH and Brandon Crawford will be the primary bench player for the infield. Plus Carpenter hasn't hit well this Spring with just 2 hits in 23 at-bats (25 plate appearances).
Its unknown if Carpenter will clear waivers, but if he does expect the Cardinals to just grant him an outright release, versus trying to find a trade partner, as the market is pretty scarce for him at the moment.
