Show Notes
Major League Baseballs regular season kicks off with a single game between the Yankees and Giants, followed by a full slate on Thursday. The St. Louis Cardinals Opening Day roster is set, but the decision to option outfielder Nelson Velázquez to the minors, despite his impressive spring training, has raised eyebrows. The Cardinals are turning to Thomas Saggese, José Fermín, and Nathan Church for early at-bats in left field. Fermín has some big-league experience, while Saggese and Church project as long-term options. Velázquez could earn a call-up if he continues to perform well in Triple-A, and roster tweaks are expected throughout the season.
