It as been a looooooooong winter, but finally the end is in sight. The Player’s Association and Major League Baseball have agreed to a deal, the season starts April 7, and now it is finally time for Spring Training. So we are all ready, here is everything I could find about the Cardinals Spring Training preparations from “best shape of your life” (#BSOYL) to injuries to signings to roster battles.
UPDATES:

- Molina in camp Monday.
- Flaherty off site to meet in person with physician for second opinion on sore shoulder.

.#STLCards starters are taking fly ball practice on this windy morning in Jupiter, Fla. It’s interesting that Tommy Edman & Nolan Gorman are sharing reps at 2B and Paul DeJong & Edmundo Sosa are splitting time at SS.

Cardinals president of baseball ops John Mozeliak said Alex Reyes is getting an 'extended look' by medical staff and his belief is that it is related to Reyes' shoulder. Not a lot of info just yet, but not ideal.

Alex Reyes won’t be on opening day roster. He’s with Andrews now to get a injection to address shoulder soreness. Will set a return to throw schedule Friday. #stlcards

Jack Flaherty missed Day 2 of camp and went for further medical evaluation on his right shoulder. A team official confirmed the review, said it would have an update once their physicians have it completed and can create a plan of action. #stlcards
— Derrick S. Goold (@dgoold) March 15, 2022
The Cardinals are awaiting a second opinion on the imaging from Jack Flaherty’s tests and will proceed from there. Oli Marmol said this morning he doesn’t know if Flaherty will be out a week or a month, but feels it’s not responsible to speculate until the opinion comes back.

Dickerson signs for a one-year, $5 million deal with possibility of more based on incentives, source confirms. All pending physical, of course. https://t.co/XZSyH5idbk
— Derrick S. Goold (@dgoold) March 17, 2022
Corey Dickerson’s deal with the #STLCards will be official pending a physical, and certainly creates an interesting dynamic when it comes to the OF, the DH and platoons/matchups. Oli Marmol is expected to implement more roster fluidity than his predecessors.
