Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:19:36 GMT

JUPITER, Fla. - The St. Louis Cardinals wrapped up spring training Monday with baseball's best preseason record and a lineup that could look very similar to one used on Opening Day. The Cardinals ended Grapefruit League play with an 8-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, finalizing their 2023 spring training record at 17-7-5. That's good for a .708 winning percentage, which will stand as baseball's best by the time all spring games end Tuesday. RELATED - How you MIGHT be able to watch St. Louis Cardinals games for free this year While it's hard to put too much stock into spring training records and stats, the best spring record is a nice accomplishment, given the Cardinals had nine big-league players miss extended time due to the World Baseball Classic. That bunch included many marquee players like Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Tommy Edman. The Cardinals who stuck around camp got extended looks, so the spring surge, at the very least, is a testament of depth within the org...
