Cardinals Could Embrace Full Seller Role at Trade Deadline
Beat reporter Derrick Goold suggests the 53-54 Cardinals may differentiate themselves in a crowded wild-card race by becoming an aggressive seller.
The St. Louis Cardinals sit at 53-54, technically within range of the wild-card race but bunched with many other teams. Cardinals beat reporter Derrick Goold reports the club is weighing whether to be a true seller at the trade deadline rather than a buyer or hold-pat team. This posture would distinguish them from other fringe contenders and could result in notable players being made available. The signal is credible given the source but lacks official confirmation of specific deals or decisions.
