The St. Louis Cardinals have traded for right-hander Brian Curley from the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of the Lars Nootbaar deal. Curley, a 23-year-old pitcher drafted in the 2025 MLB Draft, posted a strong strikeout performance with 130 strikeouts in 116 minor-league innings this season. While he had a 5.28 ERA in 2026, his strikeout and walk rates suggest potential for development. The Cardinals continue to focus on building a younger roster for future competitiveness.
