Players like Iván Herrera and Masyn Winn could eventually turn into stars, but they’re not the caliber of player that could headline a World Series champion. Thomas Gauvain of Redbird Rants recently suggested the Cardinals could target Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in free agency when he lands there after the 2026 season.
