John Smoltz still has a chance to return to St. Louis.
The Cardinals' signing of free-agent right-hander Brad Penny to a one-year, $7.5 million contract seemed to eliminate Smoltz from the team's plans. But a scenario still exists for the team to sign Smoltz, according to major-league sources.
Club officials are not convinced that left-hander Jaime Garcia is ready to be the team's fifth starter. Smoltz could fill that role for the team — or serve as a reliever if Garcia wins a rotation spot. — Ken Rosenthal
