TJ would allow him to fall to the Cardinals, wherever they draft. But the Cardinals draft TJ college pitchers in the 7th round these days. A team like the Dodgers would take a chance much earlier. Plus he'd probably just want to recover and rebuild value in college.

But I don't have a crystal ball that looks out 3 years. Just little chance Pence is a Cardinal. Hope he does well and doesn't wind up with another NL Central team. (If there is an NL Central in 2028).
