The Cardinals and reliever Chris Stratton agreed on a one-year deal for 2023, the team announced. The deal is worth $2.8 million, per a source. Stratton, 32, came to the Cardinals at the trade deadline along with lefty Jose Quintana from the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 20 appearances with the Cardinals, Stratton was 5-0 with a 2.78 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings. He has spent parts of the past seven years pitching in the majors, most of that time as a reliever with the Pirates. The Cardinals and Stratton reached agreement on the eve of baseball's deadline for teams to present ("tender") contracts to arbitration-eligible players. The value of those contracts can be set through negotiations later in the offseason or arbitration hearings next spring. Stratton is entering his third and final year of arbitration eligibility. If a team does not want to be locked into the arbitration process and the salary raise it's likely to cause, that team can negotiate a new deal, as the Cardinals did with Stratton, or elect to "non-tender" the player. That player immediately becomes a free agent. Major League Baseball inched up the non-tender deadline so that players could hit the open market earlier and ahead of Thanksgiving. The Cardinals plan to tender contracts to almost all of their other 10 eligible players, though the team continues to deliberate what to do with right-hander and longtime top prospect Alex Reyes. The All-Star closer missed all of the 2022 season with shoulder soreness that ultimately required shoulder surgery. His current rehab schedule his ready to return to the majors in May.
