JUPITER, Fla. — The trucks freighting the Cardinals’ gear from Busch Stadium arrived and were unpacked Wednesday, and at the same time the club continued another spring training tradition.
The load up on lefties continues, annually.
To jump the line and avoid the uncertainty of a waiver claim, the Cardinals sent cash to the Kansas City Royals and acquired left-handed reliever Anthony Misiewicz on Wednesday. Misiewicz, 28, split this past season with Seattle, Kansas City, and both club’s Class AAA affiliates, and he’ll come to Cardinals spring training with a chance to elbow his way into the bullpen. The Cardinals signed lefty Andrew Suarez to a minor-league deal a week ago and added him to the non-roster invites to spring, bringing the total of lefties in camp to eight, not including starters Jordan Montgomery and Steven Matz.
