Cardinals | St. Louis signs Rubén Tejada
Free-agent SS Rubén Tejada (Mets) signed a one-year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday, March 19. Financial terms were not disclosed.  Source: USA TODAY Sports - Jorge L. Ortiz
 
BHQ take: Rubén Tejada's status as a free agent lasted only a couple of days with his signing by the Cardinals. Tejada could get the majority of starts at short, at least until Jhonny Peralta returns from his injury in mid-season. Tejada experienced an uptick in skills in 2015, registering a .257 xBA and a 101 xPX.  —Phil Hertz
