Cardinals' Colton Ledbetter: Goes to St. Louis in trade
Rotowire
The Cardinals acquired Ledbetter from the Rays on Monday as part of a three-team trade involving the Mariners, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
A second-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Ledbetter slashed .265/.337/.378 with seven home runs and 37 stolen bases over 123 contests at Double-A Montgomery in 2025. The 24-year-old has seen time in center field, but he's not as fast as his stolen base totals indicate and he fits better in a corner, which will put more pressure on him to get to all of his average raw power in games.
