ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals have landed another left bat for their lineup.
MLB.com's Mark Feinsand was the first to report that the Cardinals had signed left-handed hitting outfielder Corey Dickerson to a 1-year deal worth $5 million.
The Cardinals officially announced the signing on Friday. He will wear uniform No. 25.
Dickerson is an outfielder by trade, but could play a role as the team's designated hitter, with the DH coming to the National League full-time in 2022.
In nine years in the Majors, Dickerson has played for six different teams. He most recently was a member of the Toronto Blue Jays for the second half of the 2021 season.
In 3,489 at-bats, Dickerson has 128 home runs, 416 RBI, a .283 average and .815 OPS.
Dickerson was an all-star in 2016 with the Tampa Bay Rays and won a Gold Glove in 2018 with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
