Former Cardinal Closer Jason Motte, picking up a save for the 2011 World Champions against the Texas Rangers.
JUPITER, Fla. – The last closer to throw a World Series-clinching pitch for the Cardinals will rejoin team as soon as Monday with a chance to retrofit a rebooted bullpen.
Jason Motte agreed to terms with the Cardinals on a minor-league deal that will become official after he passes a physical Monday, a source confirmed Friday. The agreement includes a non-roster invitation to big-league camp, but no promises for the righthander, who last pitched for the Cardinals in 2014.
Motte, 35, spent last season with Atlanta and had a 3.94 ERA in 46 relief appearances for the Braves.
