The St. Louis Cardinals announced today the 2018 Opening Day rosters for their four full-season minor league affiliate teams that begin play today.
The Memphis Redbirds will set out to defend their Pacific Coast League (AAA) title after posting a club-record 91 wins last season under first-year Manager Stubby Clapp. Palm Beach was named the 2017 Florida State League (A) co-champion along with Dunedin after Hurricane Irma cancelled the league’s championship series.
Cardinals’ affiliate clubs combined for 410 wins in 2017, ranking 2nd to the New York Yankees in all of baseball.
