The Cardinals have several players with team control who weren't moved at the deadline. They could be traded this offseason instead.
Despite trading Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz at the deadline, the club still has several positional logjams that need to be solved. Their farm system could also use more reinforcements despite gaining six new prospects at the deadline as a result of the trades.
According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the club could be looking to clear space at second base and in the outfield.
