JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - The St. Louis Cardinals strengthened their thin rotation on Thursday, reaching a preliminary agreement with pitcher Kyle Lohse on a $4.25 million, one-year contract.
General manager John Mozeliak said the 29-year-old Lohse was flying in from California and would undergo a physical on Friday at the team's spring training site. The exam is unlikely to include pitching because Lohse threw a 75-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday.
"If it were a perfect world, we wouldn't have had to go down this path," Mozeliak said. "But it's not and we're going to need someone to pitch every fifth day.
