Cardinals Sign Three Players to Futures Contracts

The St. Louis Cardinals kicked off the International Signing Period by announcing 12 new signings, including two top 50 international prospects: Nicaraguan outfielder Kenly Hunter and Dominican outfielder Royelny Strop, son of former MLB player Pedro Strop. Strop, ranked 28th, is highlighted as a significant addition due to his father's legacy, having played 13 years in the majors. The signings included a mix of positions with five infielders, four outfielders, two pitchers, and one catcher, all set to join the Dominican Summer League. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals made moves for the 2025 offseason by signing three players to futures contracts, including cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, linebacker Elliott Brown, and offensive lineman McClendon Curtis. These players, previously associated with other teams, will have a chance to compete for roster spots in training camp. These signings reflect both teams' efforts to strengthen their rosters with promising talent.
