Moises Gomez: Released by St. Louis
The Cardinals released Moises Gomez on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.Gomez made waves in 2022 when he slugged 39 home runs between the Double- and Triple-A levels, earning a spot on St. Louis' 40-man roster. He's disappointed since then, however, getting removed from the 40-man roster back in January and now being cut loose. Gomez will now look to latch on in another organization.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Outrighted to Triple-A
Moises Gomez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.Gomez hit 30 home runs at Memphis in 2023 after clubbing 39 between Double- and Triple-A in 2022. However, the power also came with a 33.1 percent strikeout rate and poor defense, which clearly impacted his appeal on waivers. He'll remain in the St. Louis Cardinals organization as outfield depth.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Jettisoned from 40-man roster
Moises Gomez was designated for assignment by the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.Gomez loses his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Alfonso Rivas, who was claimed off waivers from the Angels. The 25-year-old Gomez has slugged 69 home runs over the last two seasons in the minors but has also struck out at a 33.1 percent clip over that time. Even with the swing-and-miss concerns, Gomez could draw interest on waivers with his power and relative youth.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Optioned out to Triple-A
Moises Gomez was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.Gomez was sporting a weak .589 OPS through 35 plate appearances this spring in the Grapefruit League.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Joining 40-man roster
The St. Louis Cardinals will add Moises Gomez to their 40-man roster this offseason, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.Signed to a minor-league deal last winter after washing out with the Rays, Gomez showed a lot of promise in the minors during his first year in the St. Louis organization. Over his 501 plate appearances between Triple-A Memphis and Double-A Springfield, Gomez slashed .294/.371/.624 with a franchise minor-league record 39 home runs. That immense power production put the 24-year-old back on the prospect radar, and it comes as no surprise that the Cardinals are choosing to protect him from December's Rule 5 draft by adding him to the 40-man roster. Gomez is still likely to open the 2023 season at Triple-A, barring a big spring training in which he hits his way on to the Cardinals' Opening Day roster.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Promoted to Triple-A
The St. Louis Cardinals promoted Moises Gomez from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.After being released by the Rays in October, Gomez caught on with the Cardinals in November and has emerged as one of baseball's breakout prospects in 2022. The 23-year-old will receive a well-deserved appointment to the Cardinals' top affiliate after he tortured Texas League pitching to the tune of a .321/.398/.705 slash line while slugging 23 home runs and chipping in six stolen bases across 256 plate appearances. However, Gomez has struck out at an elevated 35.2 percent clip, so he could struggle to maintain his power production against more advanced Triple-A pitching if he's unable to show an improvement in his contact rate.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Pacing minors in homers
Moises Gomez slugged his 16th homer of the season Tuesday and is how hitting .339/.403/.826 across 30 games for Double-A Springfield.That 1.229 OPS is certainly eye-opening, but it's worth keeping in mind that Gomez -- who's leading the minors in home runs -- is striking out at a 31 percent clip, which means it's going to be awfully tough for him to hit anywhere close to .300 (never mind .339) in the big leagues. Indeed, his numbers have predictably been sinking recently, as Gomez has hit just .156/.270/.375 over his last eight games. This is an interesting prospect with big-time power, but Gomez (who batted .171 in Double-A last year) hasn't suddenly developed into the baseball god that his surface numbers may suggest.

Cardinals' Moises Gomez: Post-hype breakout at Double-A
Moises Gomez, 23, is hitting .455 with nine home runs in 12 games at Double-A Springfield.Only four of his nine homers have come in the favorable home park in Springfield, with the other five coming in Arkansas, which played as a pitcher's park in 2021. He became a free agent after spending seven years in the Rays organization and then signed a minor-league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. A year ago, Gomez struck out at a 38.2 percent clip at Double-A, and this year he has cut that to 22.4 percent, albeit in a small sample. He was a prospect of note a few years ago after impressing at Low-A, and he's not so old that he should be ignored in dynasty leagues.
