The St. Louis Cardinals made headlines by signing three players to minor league contracts, including reliever Weiss, who's had a brief MLB career and strong strikeout stats. Weiss, 32, previously played for the Red Sox and Angels, posting moderate ERA figures. Victor Santos, 24, has yet to make his MLB debut and is expected to miss the entire 2025 season due to injury. Catcher Pozo, 27, previously played for the Rangers and excelled in Triple-A, showcasing an extreme hitting approach. These acquisitions reflect the Cardinals' strategy to bolster their roster depth.
Weiss has fanned 28% of opponents through 27 1/3 career innings. That has come alongside a lofty 12.7% walk rate, contributing to a middling 4.61 ERA.
Santos posted a 5.61 ERA across 77 innings with Triple-A Memphis last year. He'd been pitching in the Dominican Winter League this offseason but seemingly suffered an injury.
Pozo has one of the most extreme approaches in professional baseball. Among the nearly 1100 minor league hitters who logged at least 300 plate appearances...
Weiss landed with the Twins on a waiver claim last offseason but was outrighted off the 40-man roster without making an MLB appearance.
