Cardinals To Promote Nolan Gorman, Matthew Liberatore; Tyler O’Neill To IL

By Anthony Franco | May 19, 2022 at 11:01pm CDT

There’s a momentous roster shakeup in St. Louis, as the Cardinals are set to welcome two of the game’s top prospects to the big leagues in the coming days. As first reported by Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Twitter links), the team has promoted both Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore for this weekend’s series against the Pirates. Katie Woo of the Athletic tweets that outfielder Tyler O’Neill is headed to the 10-day injured list because of a right shoulder impingement in one corresponding roster move.

According to Goold, Gorman will be in tomorrow’s starting lineup at second base. That figures to be his primary role moving forward, with Gold Glove second baseman Tommy Edman kicked to the other side of the bag. Edman has been excellent this season, but the Cards haven’t gotten much production out of their shortstops. Paul DeJong struggled enough the team optioned him to Triple-A Memphis last week, seemingly setting the stage for a forthcoming Gorman promotion.

That’s not to say the Cardinals hastily promoted Gorman to compensate for struggles at the major league level — far from it. The left-handed hitter has forced his way to the majors with an incredible showing in Memphis. Over 147 plate appearances, he’s hitting .308/.367/.677 with an astounding 15 home runs. No other Triple-A batter has more than 13 round-trippers, and only the Cubs’ Robel García has a higher slugging percentage in the International League.

Gorman’s production hasn’t been completely without issue, as he’s gone down on strikes 50 times. That’s a 34% clip, an alarming rate for any minor leaguer considering the higher quality of pitching he’ll face in the majors. Ultimately, however, Gorman’s power production became too much for the St. Louis front office to ignore.

It has been a long-awaited debut for Cardinals fans, who have anticipated Gorman’s arrival since he was selected with the 19th pick in the 2018 draft out of an Arizona high school. Regarded as a power-hitting third baseman as an amateur, he has more or less met those expectations while in the minors. Gorman has consistently posted huge extra-base numbers while running elevated strikeout totals. Prospect evaluators have raised some concerns about the amount of swing-and-miss in his game, but they’ve been unanimously effusive in their praise of his power upside.

Each of FanGraphs, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN, Keith Law of the Athletic and Baseball America slotted Gorman among the game’s top 60 prospects this past offseason. (Law and McDaniel both placed him among their top 20). That was before this season’s home run barrage, which only figures to have raised the 22-year-old’s profile even further. Gorman has kicked over to the keystone in the minors with Nolan Arenado entrenched at third base. He’s not regarded as an elite defender and will certainly be a downgrade from Edman there, but the hope is that his offensive capabilities will more than compensate for any issues on the other side of the ball.

Not to be outshined, Gorman’s draft mate will make his major league debut one day later. Liberatore is lined up to start Saturday’s game against the Bucs, manager Oliver Marmol confirmed to reporters (Woo link). The skipper said it’s still to be determined whether there’ll be more than one spot start for the 22-year-old southpaw. Regardless, that Liberatore is now lined up to pitch in the majors suggests he’s firmly on the organizational rotation depth chart.

Liberatore was coincidentally also a first-round draftee out of a Phoenix-area high school the same year as Gorman, and the two have been friends since childhood. Seen as one of the top prep arms in that year’s class, he fell to the Rays at 16th overall because of concerns about his signing bonus — which ultimately checked in just shy of $3.5MM. While Liberatore’s fastball sat in the low-90s, he drew praise for his secondary offerings, particularly a curveball that evaluators consider his best pitch. He pitched well for his first season-plus in the lower levels of the Tampa Bay farm system, then was involved in a January 2020 blockbuster that sent Randy Arozarena back to Tampa Bay.

The cancelation of the 2020 minor league season kept Liberatore from making his official Cardinals debut until last year. The organization pushed him straight to Memphis for his age-21 campaign and he held his own, tossing 124 2/3 innings of 4.04 ERA ball with a solid 23.7% strikeout rate and an excellent 6.3% walk percentage. St. Louis assigned him back there to open this season, and he’s made strides from a swing-and-miss perspective. Liberatore’s ERA and walk rate are right in line with his 2021 marks, but he’s improved his strikeout rate by almost five points through his first seven starts.

Liberatore is also regarded by most evaluators as one of the top 100 minor league talents. He’s not seen as a future ace, but between his excellent control and well-rounded arsenal, he’s unanimously viewed as a possible rotation stalwart. Whether the Cardinals plug him into that role immediately isn’t clear, but it seems likely he’ll be taking the ball every fifth day in St. Louis before long.

Neither Gorman nor Liberatore will accrue enough major league service time this year to reach the one-year threshold. Even if both players are in the majors for good, neither will be eligible for free agency until after the 2028 campaign at the earliest. Both players are in good position to reach early arbitration as Super Two qualifiers after the 2024 season, although that’s contingent on sticking in the big leagues from here on out. In Liberatore’s case, in particular, it seems future optional assignments are still a possibility.

The Cards have Adam Wainwright, Steven Matz, Dakota Hudson, Miles Mikolas and Jordan Hicks as their primary starting five at the moment. Wainwright and Mikolas have been excellent. Matz has struggled but isn’t going to be bumped from the rotation two months into a four-year contract. Hudson doesn’t have great strikeout and walk marks, but he’s riding his typically elite ground-ball production to decent results. That’s more or less also true of Hicks, who has lengthened out into the rotation after a few years as a high-leverage bullpen arm.

Of course, St. Louis has been without arguably their best pitcher for the entire season. Jack Flaherty hasn’t thrown a pitch because of a shoulder issue that required a platelet-rich plasma injection. He’s been on the 10-day injured list all year, and the club announced that he’s been transferred to the 60-day IL to clear space for Gorman on the 40-man roster.

That’s merely a procedural move that keeps Flaherty out for two months from Opening Day. The 26-year-old has yet to embark on a minor league rehab assignment and surely wouldn’t have been ready to make an MLB return before the first week of June anyhow. Flaherty has recently progressed to throwing bullpen sessions, so it seems reasonable he could head out into minor league games within a few weeks.

The club will also need to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Liberatore, with that transaction set to occur before Saturday’s contest. Aside from Flaherty, St. Louis doesn’t have any obvious candidates for a 60-day IL transfer, so it seems likely someone will be designated for assignment within the next two days.

The only disappointing aspect of today’s news is that O’Neill is headed to the IL. He’s missed the past couple days battling the shoulder discomfort that will now cost him at least a week and a half. The team hasn’t provided an indication whether he’s facing an absence longer than the minimal stint.

So continues a rough start to the year for O’Neill, who is just a season removed from an eighth-place finish in NL MVP voting. The 26-year-old has hit just .195/.256/.297 with a pair of home runs across 133 plate appearances, nowhere near the 34-homer output he put forth last season. O’Neill, who also lost his arbitration hearing last week, will try to get back on track whenever he’s healthy enough to make his return.

      It could also be a major fail. Both Sosa and Donovan are able short stops. Moving Edman is not smart in my opinion. He is an all-star second baseman. He will be okay at SS but not a star, his arm isn’t strong enough. Libertore is an okay move, but unless the Cards are going to a 6-man rotation then this bumps Hicks back to the bullpen. Plus, this pushes Yepres into a role that he isn’t really accustomed to. Some days Gorman can DH, I guess, but the move seems to hasty to me.

        Edman is an above average SS. While Gorman is said to be started at 2B tomorrow, I belive his primary role is going to be DH vs RHP, Pujols vs LHP, and Donovan and Sosa playing most of the time at 2B, which Donovan has fully earned all playing time he’s given at this point. I’m way more concerned with Gorman making contact with a baseball than I am Edman playing SS or Donovan who’s a scrappy gamer Cardinal fans should absolutely love.
        As for “Yepres” (Yepez), he’s not completely foreign to LF, while primarily should be a 1B he’s not going to play there with Goldschmidt, and Yepez will be just fine in LF as long as he keep doing what he does at the plate, and when he keeps hitting O’Neill can take his gold glove to Memphis and show DeJong.
        Hicks needs to be bumped from the rotation. He can’t throw a strike.

          Yepez is awful in LF, like Matt Adams in LF bad, and his bat is already cooling. He’s a great DH but he shouldn’t be starting in LF over a healthy O’Neill.

          Yepez was 3-5 yesterday with a HR. He has earned a bit more patience, but you’re right. He should not start over a healthy TON. I was a Matt Adams fan. His playoff HR off Kershaw will forever allow me to forgive any fielding issues.

          He played as much 2B in college as he did SS and he hasn’t had any real innings at SS since AA when his weak arm became apparent.

          So Edman can play 3B with his weak arm (as he mostly did as a rookie) but not SS?

          SS could very well be pushing it, but it won’t be just because of his arm.

        Honestly we heard the same thing on the north side about Nico hoerners ability to play short and he’s been nothing short of spectacular.
        I’m sure the cardinals have done their due diligence regarding a switch and it makes their life easier having arenado playing the hot corner as well.

        4/27 top of the third for the second out at the Mets? (Made mlb archive highlight) Right elbow looks like it jams upper arm into the shoulder at steep angle. Big dude moving quick. I have been wondering if there was an acute injury cause. Shoulders have poor design tolerance to absorb force. Hoping for a simple rest recovery getting off the field for a bit.

    This is a good move, but it won’t fix the underlying problem. Hopefully the Jordan Hicks experiment is over. Gallegos isn’t right either. His fastball is down a couple ticks and he just looks uncomfortable. Maybe the slowest working pitcher in baseball. He looks afraid to throw the ball. Just fire Jeff Albert already.

          DonOsbourne;

          For decades I respected the Cardinals as one of the the best – if not the best – organizations in MLB. Players came up strong fundamentally and were able to contribute to the team winning – talking on more responsibility as they got older. Defense and pitching as key.

          My belief has been that Jeff Luhnow learned what made the Cardinals tick and created a high-tech version in Houston. Their players grow. I’ve never seen Dusty Baker fit into a system as opposed to fighting with his own FO, and AJ Hinch appears not to be as smart in Detroit as he was in Houston without the technical data coming from his FO.

          Am not impressed with John Mozeliak at all. The firing of Mike Shildt was bad. Replacing him with a rookie manager in Oliver Marmol is shades of turning over a contending veteran Tigers team to rookie manager Brad Asmus. I expect Yadi to take over as manager within the next 3 years at the latest…and he will have trouble with Mozeliak.

          That team looks great on paper. Often they blow away opponents. But right now there seem to be numerous things out of kilter. Still like the Brewers in that division if they stay relatively healthy.

          Sam,

          I agree on several points. It’s interesting that you mention Luhnow. I was just thinking that he’s a ready-made replacement if the team finds itself in need of a new PBO. I don’t know if he burned bridges with Bill DeWitt on his way to Houston, but he is great at what he does.

          Personal feelings aside, Mo painted himself into a corner by firing Shildt. Everyone knows this team is talented. If they don’t right the ship, someone is going to be held accountable.

          Yes. Promoting Liberatore is a sign they plan do something different pitching wise. That’s why I mentioned Hicks. Gallegos was just a general observation prompted by today’s loss. My rant against Jeff Albert is ongoing dating back to the start of last season.

          How are Edman, Yepez, Donovan, Carlson, and the rest of the guys who came up through the minors with Albert’s system in place doing in the bigs? I’ll wait. It’s the veterans who didn’t come up through the minors with him that are struggling.

          Wrong, Liberatore is a spot start due to a rainout and a doubleheader against the Mets. He will be sent back to Memphis shortly after his Saturday start imo. Gallegos is fine. Tonight he closed out a 2 run lead striking out all 5 batters he faced. I’d say he will be okay.

    Mistake. They should keep both safely stashed in the minors to continue to build up trade value. The second they step on an MLB field, they will be exposed as nothing but over hyped frauds. The cardinals have to be the worst talent evaluators in all of baseball. Alex Reyes. Dylan Carlson. Tyler O’Neil. Paul DeJong. Jack Flahearty. All busts.

    Anyone advocating to fire mo isn’t paying attention. Cards haven’t finished under .500 since he took over as gm. In that time the only 2 teams that have won more games are the dodgers and Yankees, and they have both spent hundreds of millions more in payroll than stl.
    Schildt deserved to fired for the way he handled Alex Reyes last year. We will be lucky if he wasn’t ruined.
    I don’t like the defensive downgrade the Gorman move leaves us with but we need some offense from the left side.

      Alex Reyes was a mess before Schildt was manager.

      They won’t designate Robertson. Minf depth is limited while DeJong is hitting .095 in AAA. lol

      I could see them Cutting some dead wood in AAA but McFarland should be worried. Van Hagar is a bum and should fall on the sword. lol

        McFarland has been one of the worst relievers in the league this year. But he’s got a 2 year deal. I say zuech or Dickerson should go, but McFarland could too

    WARNING: This is a joke.

    The Pirates should fully embrace their identity as a third rate franchise and call up Travis Swaggerty for this series to play against two guys they should’ve drafted instead of him.

    I have a feeling that Gorman will struggle the first month up – .200 average and 40% strikeout rate.
