Redbird Droppings: Former Cards In ’25 Camps

Redbird Droppings shows you where the former Cardinals are playing this spring

Every year, there are a slew of former Cardinals in spring training camps across baseball; this year, there are 65. I’ve broken them out by team; I’ve also noted the highest level that Cardinal farm-hands made it. I considered including draftees that did not sign (like Max Scherzer, Trevor Megill, or Aramis Garcia), but decided not to since they were never formally in the farm system.
