Cards news: Nov. 15 -- RHP Pfaadt acquired from Arizona for C Herrera and RHP Foley
The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired right-handed starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for catcher Ivan Herrera and right-handed pitcher Jason Foley.
Pfaadt, 28, went 10-11 with a 3.65 ERA in 35 starts for the D-backs in the 2026 season.
In parts of four major league seasons, he has gone 35-38 with a 4.16 ERA in 113 games/112 starts.
Herrera, 26, started the season as the Cardinals starting catcher but after a slow mid-season eventually lost his job to Jimmy Crooks, who had come up from AAA Memphis.
In 105 games/97 starts, Herrera hit .236 with four home runs and 45 RBIs.
For his MLB career, Herrera was a .251 hitter with 18 home runs and 119 RBIs in 302 games/263 starts.
The Cardinals acquired Foley in the off-season from Detroit hoping he could grab a foothold on the closer's role.
But he never really grasped it.
In 61 games, Foley was 4-4 with 10 saves and a 4.25 ERA. He also had seven blown saves.
