According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals are looking to make moves to free up some space in their crowded outfield. The Cardinals currently have seven outfielders on their 40-man roster, and five must be protected by the Rule 5 draft. With Dexter Fowler, Stephen Piscotty, Tommy Pham, Randal Grichuk, and Jose Martinez taking time at the big leagues, the team needs to trade one of them. Which means, the Dodgers would be calling.
In his article, Goold indicated that the Dodgers pursued a deal for Tommy Pham this past summer before the Cardinals ultimately elected to keep him.
