The St. Louis Cardinals are promoting Joshua Baez, the organization’s number three prospect (MLB Pipeline), per Mike Rodriguez.
Según mis fuentes, el jardinero dominicano Joshua Báez fue llamado a Grandes Ligas por los Cardenales de San Luis.

Rodriguez posted on X: “According to my sources, the Dominican gardener Joshua Báez was called up to the Major Leagues by the St. Louis Cardinals. Báez has tallied 34 HR and 90 RBI this season in the Minor Leagues. The Cardinals’ #3 prospect. #Cardenales#JoshuaBaez#MLB.”
Baez, 23, has been outstanding this season. He holds a .901 OPS through 103 games at the Triple-A level. Additionally, he can steal bases, hit for ridiculous amounts of power, and plays solid outfield defense.
The Cardinals are in the midst of a game against their arch-rival Chicago Cubs and have been shut down on offense all afternoon. Hopefully, for the Redbirds’ sake, Baez can provide the thump they’ve been without all season long.
This is the first of the Cardinals’ many position player prospects who are in the upper levels to make his way to The Show. POBO Chaim Bloom has put together a system that was recently ranked second in the league by Baseball America, and Baez is a major part of that.
Fans are going nuts over the news, as they’ve been waiting on Baez for a while.
