The St. Louis Cardinals are closing in on a deal with free agent reliever Troy Percival.
The bullpen has been one of the Cardinals’ strengths this season, and the team apparently wants to strengthen it further as it attempts to climb back into the NL Central race.
Percival threw 88 to 90 mph in a workout on Tuesday, according to two scouts in attendance, and showed no signs of the right-forearm injury that has kept him out of the majors since July 2005.
