Chicago White Sox Rumors: Pitcher Linked to Cardinals

After a disappointing 2022 season, Lucas Giolito is reportedly available for trade. Although he had a bad year, he is still garnering some interest because of his recent past success. One specific team that has him on their radar is the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cardinals are looking to improve their rotation before the start of the season. It ultimately makes sense, as that is an area that needs some work. If Giolito can find his old form, he would certainly be a trade target worth acquiring for St. Louis.

Giolito appeared in 30 games last season for Chicago, where he sported an 11-9 record to go along with a 4.90 ERA. Yet, it is also important to note that he is a former All-Star, and his ERA hovered around 3.50 over the previous three seasons. Therefore, he has the potential to be a solid middle-of-the-rotation starter for the Cards if acquired. Alas, let's see if this interest leads to a trade from here.
