St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals brass has made it clear all offseason long that their goal is to get younger entering the 2025 season, as they believe as though their veteran core has plateaued and that a soft reset is in order to get the proud franchise back to its usual level. To that end, the Cardinals have been making their veteran players available on the trade market — including two starting pitchers in Erick Fedde and Steven Matz. While Fedde and Matz are far from the flashiest starting pitchers to add to rotation, they should still command some interest on the trade market as veterans that won't cost much in terms of salary as well as prospect capital.

The St. Louis Cardinals informed fan favorite Paul Goldschmidt before the offseason that they wouldn't re-sign him after he endured the worst offensive campaign of his career in 2024. Sadly, Goldschmidt failed to contribute to St. Louis's 12th World Series title run but hopes to help another franchise win a championship. With the Cardinals rebuilding, it wouldn't make sense for Goldy to return at this point in his career. According to reports following the Houston Astros' signing of Christian Walker, several suitors have emerged for Goldschmidt.

After Juan Soto's massive payday, one can't help but wonder: How much would Albert Pujols fetch in today's market? Could he potentially be worth $1 billion?

A former St. Louis Cardinals slugger's market might have narrowed Friday afternoon following the blockbuster signing of Christian Walker to the Houston Astros. The three-time Gold Glove first baseman landed a three-year, $60 million contract and will officially join Houston after he passes his physical. The New York Yankees were reportedly interested in Walker after declining Chicago Cubs legend Anthony Rizzo's 2025 club option.

The Seattle Mariners have added depth to their roster, claiming catcher Nick Raposo off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

The St. Louis Cardinals are on a mission to reduce payroll this winter, hoping to land younger talent to develop as the organization endures a reset. The Cardinals are financially solid after declining several club options for 2025 and neglecting to re-sign right-handed pitcher Andrew Kittredge and seven-time All-Star Paul Goldschmidt. A potential blockbuster trade with the American League West-rival Los Angeles Angels could be brewing. "The Cardinals reached out to a limited number of teams they felt would fit (Nolan) Arenado's preferences," St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold wrote Wednesday.

The New York Yankees were never going to take losing Juan Soto lying down, were they? In only 10 days since Soto signed with the New York Mets, the Yankees have made a trio of big moves. With Bellinger likely to play some center field and first base, the Yankees still have to add at least one more infielder.

The New York Mets are reportedly signing left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell to a minor-league deal.

The Mets signed infielder Jared Young to a one-year contract on Monday.

Not only do they have a top 10 pick for just the second time ever, a compensatory pick will give them three total in the top 75.

But for the first time ever, St. Louis will draft among the top 10 for the second year in a row.

The group includes a pair of former minor leaguers from the Cleveland Guardians organization.

Arenado reportedly has a list of six teams for which he's willing to accept a trade.
