The St. Louis Cardinals have re-signed RHP Giovanny Gallegos to a two-year contract extension, worth $11 million. The contract includes a team option for 2025. Gallegos, 31, is currently 3-5 with a 2.91 ERA, 56 games, 12 holds, 14 saves, 58.2 innings, 72 strikeouts, and 15 walks in 2022. The saves are tied for a career high from 2021 for Gallego.
Gallegos had his best season in 2021. That season, Gallego was 6-5 with a 3.02 ERA, 73 games, 24 holds, 14 saves, 80.1 innings, 95 strikeouts, and 20 walks. The wins, games, holds, saves, innings, and strikeouts were all career highs.
Overall, Gallegos is currently in his 6th season in the MLB. Gallegos is 14-15 with a 3.02 ERA, 233 games, 56 holds, 34 saves, 259.2 innings, 315 strikeouts, 63 walks, and a whip of 0.93.
The contract is great for both sides. Gallegos has developed himself into one of the Cardinals best relievers since being acquired in a trade from the New York Yankees on July 27, 2018, for first baseman Luke Voit.
