Top Spot In Cardinals Batting Order Is Up For Grabs; Trevor Rosenthal Doubtful For 2018; Miles Mikolas Visits, Talks Lizards; Extra Bases

Unable to come to an agreement with the Cardinals on an extension to stay on the roster while he recovers from elbow surgery, free-agent Trevor Rosenthal is unlikely to sign for 2018 and instead try to score a one-year deal for 2019 that allows him to reassert his place as a closing candidate. His agent, Scott Boras, said it’s “doubtful” that Rosenthal will pitch in 2018.
