Joshua Baez Pushes for Cardinals Roster Spot With Hot Spring

Joshua Baez is making a strong case for a major league roster spot, hitting .353 with two home runs and a 1.156 OPS during Spring Training. His breakout performance has created a dilemma for the Cardinals, who must decide between sticking with the struggling Jordan Walker or promoting Baez. While Baez was originally projected for Triple-A, his current offensive production is forcing the front office to reconsider his timeline for a potential major league debut.
