St. Louis Cardinals

The next few weeks will be very interesting across Major League Baseball. The Winter Meetings will kick off next week and with that there should also be a flurry of moves made across the league. For those that don't know, the Winter Meetings are a team in the Major League Baseball calendar when all of the top decision-makers in baseball get together in one place. Each team sends their front office brass to the meetings, all of the top agents arrive, some players show up, and a lot of media members.

If the St. Louis Cardinals really want to add to the farm system this offseason, there really is one obvious way to do so. Third baseman Nolan Arenado has been in trade discussions all offseason so far. It would be sad to see him go if the Cardinals decided to cut ties with him. Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly made a list of nine "fresh trade ideas" and suggested that the Cardinals should consider sending Arenado to the Detroit Tigers.

As the Atlanta Braves look for starting rotation help, it couldn't hurt to look into some options they missed out on at the trade deadline. Bleacher Reports's Time Kelly released a list of nine fresh trade ideas ahead of the Winter Meetings. For the Braves, he proposed they acquire starting pitcher Erick Fredde from the St. Louis Cardinals. Kelly likes this move because it would guarantee the Braves some experience in their rotation that will also give them consistent innings.

If the St. Louis Cardinals aren't going to completely rebuild the roster, they certainly should make some strategic additions this offseason. The Cardinals finished tied with the Chicago Cubs for second place in the National League Central in 2024 with an 83-79 record. The Milwaukee Brewers were in first place with 93 wins. St. Louis has been in plenty of trade rumors itself, but it's not the only one.

One of the areas that the Philadelphia Phillies could have to find some replacements for this offseason is their bullpen. After their struggles against the New York Mets in the NLDS, it would make sense that the front office would consider the possibility of making changes. Two of their high-leverage arms, Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez, are on the open market. If the Phillies are unable to retain them, they are going to have to find replacements elsewhere.

The St. Louis Cardinals have gained a reputation over the last decade for unwisely moving on from former homegrown talents that thrive elsewhere. Perhaps the Cardinals front office's most significant mistake over the last decade involved trading Zac Gallen and Sandy Alcantara -- two Cy Young-caliber hurlers -- to the Miami Marlins in exchange for Marcell Ozuna. Much like Gallen and Alcantara, another former homegrown asset has found success outside of St. Louis and is poised for the most generous payday of his career.
