At the MLB trade deadline, the St. Louis Cardinals may bolster their bullpen with Gregory Soto, currently with the Baltimore Orioles. Soto, a two-time All-Star, has established himself as a reliable reliever with a career total of 55 saves and 376 strikeouts since debuting in 2019. His fastball, consistently clocked between 94-99 mph, complements a devastating breaking slider, making him a formidable asset for the Cardinals alongside Ryan Helsley.

With the Cardinals' current standings at 47-40 and vying for a Wild Card spot, acquiring Soto could create a dynamic duo in their bullpen, mirroring successful pitching pairings across the league. This potential move reflects the Cardinals' commitment to make a playoff push, especially after Soto’s previous contributions to playoff runs with different teams.
