Cards news: February 11 -- SS Nick Ahmed agrees to minor-league contract
The St. Louis Cardinals have announced the signing of 33-year-old shortstop Nick Ahmed to a minor-league contract with a major-league option worth $2M if he makes the 38-man roster.
Ahmed spent last season with the National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks, playing in 72 games/56 starts during which he hit .212 with two home runs and 17 RBIs.
Breaking into the majors in 2014, Ahmed has spent his entire career with the D-Backs.
He has a career-average of .234 with 70 home runs and 322 RBIs in 888 games/790 starts.
Ahmen signing was primarily to provide insurance in case top shortstop prospect Masyn Winn can't win the starting job out of spring training.
