The St. Louis Cardinals have announced on X.com that they have declined the contract options of three pitchers, Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Kenyan Middleton. This is the beginning steps of what most believe will be a youth movement for the 2025 season. Lynn and Gibson were both starters in 2024 and Middleton was unable to pitch during the season. These moves frees up around $26 million in payroll and opens the door for pitchers like Andre Pallante and Michael McGreevy to become regulars in the starting rotation. These are the first moves of what many experts believe to be a busy offseason for the Cardinals front office.
