12/16/24 | Former Padres Infielder Wants to Return for 15th MLB Season. The St. Louis Cardinals knew this time last year that their young lineup would need one more strong veteran presence in the clubhouse so they called a franchise legend. Former San Diego Padres infielder Matt Carpenter answered the call and signed a one-year deal worth $740,000 to go back to the city where he starred from 2011-21 before spending the past two seasons with the New York Yankees and Padres. After a tough 2023 season where he batted just .176 in 76 games with San Diego, Carpenter was traded to the Atlanta Braves and later released, setting himself up to return to the Cardinals for the 2024 season.
