With Chaim Bloom set to take over the St. Louis Cardinals' front office this offseason, the impression is that the Chicago Cubs' division rival could be in line for a reset. Speculation almost certainly will point to the Cardinals looking to trade Willson Contreras and Nolan Arenado, but beyond that, veteran starting pitcher Sonny Gray could be one of the top names on the trade market.
Like Contreras and Arenado, Gray holds a no-trade clause in his contract. The Cardinals' veterans have previously been unwilling to waive their no-trade clauses, with the idea being that the Cardinals could remain in contention.
