| 12/16/24 | Former Padres Infielder Wants to Return for 15th MLB Season. The St. Louis Cardinals knew this time last year that their young lineup would need one more strong veteran presence in the clubhouse so they called a franchise legend. Former San Diego Padres infielder Matt Carpenter answered the call and signed a one-year deal worth $740,000 to go back to the city where he starred from 2011-21 before spending the past two seasons with the New York Yankees and Padres. After a tough 2023 season where he batted just .176 in 76 games with San Diego, Carpenter was traded to the Atlanta Braves and later released, setting himself up to return to the Cardinals for the 2024 season.

| 10/30/24 | Cardinals $740K Fan-Favorite Wants To Play One More Year, Per Insider. The St. Louis Cardinals certainly were very active heading into the 2024 Major League Baseball season.

The Cardinals had a disaster of a 2023 season and responded by completely reloading the starting rotation, bolstering the bullpen, and adding more veteran leadership to the organization. One move the Cardinals made was reuniting with fan-favorite Matt Carpenter. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cardinals/st-louis-cardinal... |

| 7/22/24 | Cardinals claim celebratory hand gestures reference music DJs, not Trump's fist pump. With four solo homers in Sunday's win, the Cardinals' hand gestures to celebrate hits got plenty of screen time — and drew some questions and unchecked speculation from national media outlets, including those covering baseball or spouting politics. The Cardinals' Matt Carpenter said the signals, which he did in the dugout, were inspired by Alec Burleson's nickname, “DJ Burly Biscuits,” and meant to mimic a DJ holding headphones to the air and encouraging the crowd to dance. A photo from Sunday's game of Lars Nootbaar shows him cupping his ear and holding out his hand as if spinning or scratching records on a turntable.

| 5/24/24 | Braves Call up Reliever to Start in Pittsburgh on Friday Night. Free agent signing Reynaldo López, who is the rotation's ERA leader (1.54) after converting from three years of bullpen work, obviously has taught the Braves a lot about what qualities a reliever needs to have to make the conversion. Kerr, 29, was acquired by Atlanta this offseason from the San Diego Padres along with veteran Matt Carpenter (who was later released) in exchange for minor leaguer Drew Campbell.

| 5/14/24 | Cardinals needed a boost from their bases-loaded blahs. They got it from one of the best ever.. Just about the only spot Matt Carpenter prefers to hit in more than with the bases loaded is when he has a 3-2 count and the bases loaded. It has been the worst possible outcome for the Cardinals. The Cardinals upended the Los Angeles Angels' lead, the game, and their offensive ineptitude all in one inning Monday night at Angel Stadium, and it hinged on producing in a spot they have struggled to do so all season. Blah with the bases loaded for most of the past month, the Cardinals produced nine runs in those opportunities on their way to a season high for runs and a 10-5 victory.
